Finally, stuff I can relate to. You didn't mention which engine.
Take off the air cleaner & move the throttle lever by hand a few times. You should hear & see gas getting pumped down the throat.
If nothing appears, check to be sure gas is getting to the carb. Disconnect the supply line at the carb body & have someone turn the starter key as you hold the fuel line over a container (undoing a primary wire to the coil is also a good idea before you do this). If no gas, examine the fuel pump. If gas does get to but not through the carb a stuck needle valve is possible & sometimes you can get it unstuck with a rap from a screwdriver handle in the vicinity of the inlet.
If it still does not produce gas and you're real lucky, Gumout spray in the vent port may work.
If nothing else works get a gasket kit a Saturday afternoon to rebuild your carb. Good luck.
