pull a plug to see if it's getting any fire. the starter fluid should have made it at least start for a minute...hold the plug to a ground and have someone crank the motor... if no spark, check for a bad fuse.

On the flip side of the other suggestion, it could be that you are not getting gas to the engine. Replace fuel filter? As my buddies dad used to tell us. it's either gas or spark. If it doesn't start one of the two is missing.

Good luck!
