Need to check for spark. Small chance coil not firing? Do this by removing the spark plug connect spark plug wire, lay the plug against metal head, pull rope and watch for blue spark.

If got fire You need to get the spay can of Gumout carburetor cleaner. Take the spark plug out spray it ( with rubber gloves on) wire brush it, check gap, spray some down the spark plug hole, pull the rope to blow out excess. Install the plug.

Now drain fuel tank of the old fuel, pour fresh fuel in. Remove the air cleaner spray gumout down the carburetor Venturi. Pull the rope, it should fire off the carburetor clean in till clean gas get pulled up.

You may have to spray and cranks several time before it take off on it’s own. If that don’t work carburetor will have to be removed and cleaned? Sounds like lot but not.

After thought, check the air filter, and oil.
