Are you getting good gas flow from the fuel tank through the fuel hose.

Remove the gas cap, and try again. If the vent on the cap is plugged, it will crank, but won't run long.

If it has a choke, verify that it is on (closed) when the engine is off and cold. Verify that it is off (open) after the engine starts.
