Take the battery to the auto store and have it charged for free and tested.

Possibly you ran low on fuel and ran some water or other nasty things through the lines that clogged the filter(s) and stopped it from running.
Then, the battery may not be in the best shape. You should take a tester and check the voltage. Most run at 12 volts. You can also test at the ground and take, other probe and touch it around the battery. If you get a reading, the battery is cracked. That would be one of your problems.

I have found that crud seams to build up in the carburator fuel bowl. theres a drain valve on the bottom and a good clean out of the bowl would be worth a try. also if for some reason you had water get in the fuel it may have fouled your spark plug out check and clean or replace it.
