Post your year and model. There's plenty of people more knowledgeable than me that can help.
That should do it unless something changed.

Well after trying a bunch of stuff I found the gas line to the tank wasn’t connected- it was IN and felt rift if wiggled but when I pulled down it came out. Re connected and started right up. By the way I never got the tip notice in odometer space. Hey thanks for all the suggestions. It was much appreciated to not feel totally without resources!!
