Open the carburetor bowl petcock or remove the plug and see if there is a good flow of clean gasoline. If not, the needle in the carb might be sticking or the fuel filter or line may be plugged. Make sure there is oil in the engine. Put a little gas in each cylinder. Make sure the gear shift lever is in neutral and the brakes are ON. Set the throttle in the middle position.
