is the engine turning over? is it getting fuel? if you changed the filter, the line may have run dry. is it tbi or carb? it might be starved of fuel and if its carbed, it will take a while until the pump primes itself again. try a small shot of ether and see if it runs.

Are you saying gas is spouting out of the carb as you're cranking the engine over to start it?
