I will assume you at least looked at the charts and checked a few things over ...
I am giving you a link to another posting that has a really good procedure to test a no-start situation

Honestly .... I'm to lazy to type all this of procedure over ...when a few clicks gives it to you ... Boobala

Get an inline spark tester fit it & watch what happens when you are cranking the engine.
If the nenon tube keeps on flashing and the engine is not running then you have a fuel problem.
If no flashes you have a sparking problem.

Otherwise it is a very long process .
