When you crank the engine, does it turn over faster than normal? I am thinking of lawn mower syndrome where too much gasoline washed the oil from the rings and now the compression is too low to support combustion. If so, push the pedal to the floor to turn off the gas and crank the starter for 20-30 seconds, and see if the oil pressure light on the instrument cluster turns off. Let the starter cool down for a few mintutes and try again. This will take a toll on the battery, so it needs to be fully charged.
