    It could be a number of things, including a dry fuel system. Try pouring a little bit of fuel into the carburetter, then crank it over. You might also want to put a bit of oil into the engine, to oil up the pistons.

    have put fuel into carburettor and it did run fine until it ran out. also topped up with new oil. and what would a dry fuel system cause? was told can impact injectors and fuel pump and that it is fixable but how?
