thesals says exactly what I was thinking. At the marina where I work the biggest thing we do anymore is clean carbs on boats that have been sitting as little as 2 months. Gas turns to varnish real quick, especially in the warm months and plugs up the jets in the carbs.
Simple test, remove the air cleaner and look down inside while you pump the throttle, you should see a couple of strong streams of gas being pumped into the throat of the carb. If you do, and it is getting spark, it should fire.
If it ran when you parked it, and you changed nothing, only two things can create this problem...........loss of fuel supply, or loss of spark. Get a can of starting fluid and spray some into the carb and see if it kicks with that. If that doesn't work, start looking electrical.
There is always the possibility something goofy happened, but these are the two most common things to look at.
