I would try starting fluid first. If it does not start, then look at spark plug, if possible have someone pull the cord and check for spark. If the engine runs for a short time with started fluid, then I would look over the carburetor for dirt, etc.

While I do not do repairs as a business, I have repaired my own gas powered equipment, and helped a neighbor with theirs.
Hope this helps.
