make sure fuel is turned on....killswitch., Otherwise, you could have sucked some s@?! from bottom of tank and blocked a jet in the carb.
Check oil....spark plug??
It was definatly petrol you put in?
If the engine is turning over your battery isnt dead, wont harm to charge it though. If it turns over does it sound the same as before, i.e. turning over as fast?

Because it uses a vacuum tap, the engine needs to be turning over for fuel to get to the carb so you have to hold the starter button for quite a bit of time before it will fire up.

If you don't want to run your battery down to do this, use the kickstart and kick it over until it starts. It should run then.
