Pull the air cleaner, pour a shot glass full of fuel down the carb. then see if it will start. If that happens, remove the fuel line from the carb. Place the end in a soda bottle and have someone kick the starter. If gas fills the soda bottle your fuel pump is working, repair/replace the carb. If it doesn't, you probably need a new fuel pump. Then again you might just have bad gas inside the carb. which will necessitate it's removal and rebuild. Perform these two tests before you have it towed. Removing the four bolts holding the carb in place is much easier and less expensive than having it towed. New carbs are about $300 US....good luck ..Dennis
