Sometimes this is a Dirty Carburetor. May have a little fuel hole/jet clogged from sitting. Try pouring a very small amount of gas into the Carb, have a Rag to throw over it if you get a fire. You just want enough fuel to get wet inside an Eye Dropper full enough. Then pull and see if it start and run a few seconds. IF, it does, it a clogged Carb and it will need cleaned. Sometimes you can do this yourself using a spray Carb Cleaner. Then when you get it going keep Fuel Stabilizer in the gas, as these not get used that often.

A good rule of thumb for adjusting carbs (works for me every time) – remove each adjustment screw, make sure it’s perfectly clean. Screw all the way back in, and then back out exactly one and one-half turns.
Should get you started, and then you can make very minor adjustments and get it running smotthly.

You say it is getting fuel,, did you check in the cyclinder to make sure it was there? if you are getting spark there won’t be any if the plug fired as it should! take off the filter and pour a tiny amount of gas into the carb and see if it fires, if it does and then stops you will need to replace the diaphragm in the carb, it has a hole or is too stiff to do the job… if the cylinder is full of gas it may be flooding out,, this means the carb will need more work than most home owners can do….
