Could your battery be dead?
Is it turning over?
Check the kill switch?
Is the kill switch all the way in? Maybe he pulled it out and didn't put the switch all the way back down?
is it in neutral or could the neutral switch be out of adjustment?

That would be my guess... left in gear.
Check to ensure the lanyard switch is in the "RUN" position.
If it is.... go back to the engine and check the fuses in the two fuse holders (above and below the PCM or ECM). Ensure that you don't have a blown "20 amp" fuse.
If one is blown- STOP. Get the engine in, and have the problem diagnosed. You may have overheated an ignition coil (powered up, but not firing, for an extended period of time).
