If it has been sitting idle a long time and all it will do is turn over, then take the air cleaner off of it and spray a good shot of ETHER (Starting Fluid) into the throat of the carburetor. They have cans of this available at the auto parts store. It is Very explosive stuff so use sparingly. If this doesn't get the thing to take off then you have other problems. Always remember: An internal combustion engine HAS to have these three things to operate properly: 1. A CLEAN steady fresh fuel supply. 2. Cold fresh FILTERED air 3. A nice STRONG spark in the cylinders.
