"@ednick .Nick, You did not state your model #,, so this will be some what generic answer. Remove gas cap momentarily and see if fuel will flow, vent in gas cap could be plugged not allowing fuel to flow. Remove spark plug, remove fuel line from carburetor and direct line into a container to see if fuel is flowing from pump when engine cranked. If no fuel, pump mat be faulty(check all lines on pump are not plugged and hooked in proper positions securely), line pinched/plugged, tank shut off either not on or plugged, filter plugged or installed back wards(if directional), check for fuel tank internal screen plugged. If fuel flowing the carb. float may be stuck in the closed position or if carburetor equipped with a electric shut off/solenoid it could be faulty/stuck/bad connection. Now if you are getting fuel to carb. and the bowl is filling, either the jets are clogged or you have not adjusted the screws out to the proper settings to allow fuel to flow. See the trouble shooting link/guide below for more info. Good luck. I hope this helped you out, if so let me know by pressing the helpful button.

Stuck float tube pin either in closed or open position if it's stuck in heat the metal side quickly with a torch needle will pop out work it in and out float will work fine!
