Check your glow plug. It might be bad.

Take it out and check it in the igniter. If you're using the EZ-start, hold the side of the base against the head. Make sure it glows bright. If not, put a full charge on the starter, or lose the blue wire and get an igniter.

fuel
make sure your getting fuel in the engine, watch the fuel line while you hold your finger over the exhaust and crank the engine. Fuel will flow to the engine and you'll be good to go. P.S. all you need is Fuel, Spark and air!!!!!!

Does it even sputter while trying to start it?
After trying to start, take out the glow plug and tell us what it looks like.

If it's really hard to start then it's probably getting too much fuel. A rich engine is difficult to start. But remember, this is what this hobby is ALL about!! If at first you don't succeed try try again. It might take awhile but you'll get it.

That's why I asked about the glow plug. If it's soaked, it can't light.

ok so the truck jumps foward while trying to start it and if you pick it up off the ground it will start but as soon as you put it down it turns off.

The Clutch Springs Maybe Broke Or The Clutch Is Stuck Open Cheak Your Clutch
yeah, I think cleveland maxx is on to your problem. If your clutch spring is busted, the clutch binds and the engine doesn't have enough torque to just start and keep going. Pull the engine and take off the bell. Could also be a fried bearing in the bell.
