Let's start with the basics.
When you said it wouldn't start, did you mean that you could turn the key and depress the start switch and it turned over? Or that nothing happened?
Have you checked the kill switch? Had that little thing bite me (and countless others it would seem) in the can a few times.
If you replaced the exhaust, did you perhaps disconnect the neutral sender?
It is located down there and it will disable your safety interlock system.
