Was it parked up with fuel in the carbs?

If yes, chances are the pilots are blocked with shelak(spelt wrong I know) the residue left by petrol after it has evaporated

strip carbs and flush with carb cleaner.

Also it may sound strange, but engines can get addicted to easy start, use spareingly
If it aint sharp I can play with it

NOTE: Easystart melts foam filters, i reckon it would take the solvent off a K&N too, so only use it on paper filters, or remove the filter first.

you could put 5cc of fuel down the plughole, refit plug and see if it goes

Old method was heat the plug until it's as hot as you can hold it to put back in

Another was rub a pencil across the contacts, the graphite explodes ... so with one plug with graphite on and one hot one it should at least fire with a bang when cranked over

Monty is right about the residue left by old petrol, drain your fuel tank and refill with an octane booster in, the booster contains volatiles that'll clear the gum out

Good luck :ph43r:

this is very true, i worked on a golf course where the JCB had been started with easy start during the winter and after that it would never start without it..... even in summer.

personal i would never use this stuff.

is the spark a good strong one?

the heating plugs up is a good trick.
