Could be flooded. Could be the ballast resistor (that would make it fire on the 'start' key but shut off as soon as it moves to 'run'). Usually if you have air spark and fuel they run. Maybe someone else can offer more. Things like timing/rotor/points/condenser and such are not an area to look at if it ran 2 weeks ago (although I did have a condenser fail after driving my Mustang to a store and she would not start after coming back out). What about something using the tail pipe as a home? Back pressure would stop proper air flow. Let us know what it ends up being.
