Next time you go to start it, slightly open the carb drain to see if you have fuel in the bowl. I had a bit of trouble with mine, as I had the manifold set wrong (had it set for kerosene), and the carb was hot, and boiled some of the gas off after I shut down. When I would go to start it again, it took a number of cranks to get the carb filled up again.
I got around that by setting the manifold correctly. The other thing to note is that it would start right up after 2 cranks if I gave it a shot of ether directly into the carb before attempting anything. that would make the engine run for 5-10 seconds which was plenty to get fuel up to the carb.
this MAY not be your problem, but it is worth a try. Took me almost a month of monkeying around with it to figure it out.
