Results check vent hole in fuel tank cap for being stopped up.

See page 20 in second owners manual, troubleshooting, cranks but will not start. You have a circuit breaker you may need to reset manually. Also carefully check spark plug for spark with spark tester, air filter for replacement, fresh gas, check oil level on dipstick. Can you smell gas in oil on dipstick? Did you check gas cap vent? Post all numbers from engine data plate, thanks mechanic mark.
