Sounds like no spark. You need to pull the plug and see.

I wonder if the motor got full of gas.
While the plug is out, spin the motor over and see if gas gushes out of the plug hole.
If so, spin till the fuel stops comming out, let dry and try again later with throttle wide open.
Let us know the reults.:)

Took the spark plug out and it was wet.I clean the plug spun the motor and only a mist came out so keep doing it till it stop.Put the spark plug back in and it started and then died.Took plug back out and it was wey again.
