Replace the plug, get new gas, prime the engine by putting a small
amount of gas down the cylinder. If it starts and dies out do it again.
Sometimes after sitting it needs a little help getting things going. Once
everything is burned out it should run fine. You may have to take the
needle out of the carb and pull the rope a few times, but I would do it as
a last resort otherwise you mess up the settings.
