Agreed...sounds like either the fuel pump (easy to check as above) or an electrical connection came loose. If dumping gas down the carb won't get it to fire, check your plugs for spark, and check the connections to the coil. Also pull the oil dipstick and smell it...if it smells like gas, the diaphragm in the fuel pump is bad.
