Soak the jets in a carb cleaner and spray them with a Carb and Choke cleaner spray or throttle body spray.

Likely varnish buildup clogging the jets making it too lean to run.

I've got a nice collection of nearly new lawn equipment I keep replacing with even better nearly new free stuff due to people leaving these sit over the winter with fuel in them that won't run buy the second or third season..


If its got compression...and its got spark...ya gotta look at the stupid stuff next. 9 times out of 10 that's exactly all that's wrong with it.
