if the glowplug ant lighting then your golw plug must have toasted, and check the glow plug wire, make sure its engaged properly, try a new plug then

or the engine must be flooded, loosen the glow plug a bit and spin the engine for about 5 secs, then retighten and try to start

check the starter motor wires make sure the motor is getting power

or the ez start battery is weak, recharge it

good idea scott, lets all get our answers elsewhere and shut down the site. Then you won't have to be bothered
by all these questions.....
