Sounds like it could be a lot of things. Mine would take a while to start, and would take longer the longer it sat, like over night. There's a back flow valve in the fuel pump that keeps the fuel system primed. New fuel pump, problem solved.

Is it turning over at all when it wont start or is there nothing at all happening?
Does it sound like its about to start???
