Having set through two or three summers the gas is probably has all
evaporated. If not, before going to a lot of work I would drain the gas and
squirt in a bunch of carburetor cleaner and refill. Then squirt carburetor
cleaner into the intake or pull the plug and squirt some right into the
cylinder and try starting.

Guess I am getting old but we I remember in at least one or two years
there were heavy uses in the dreaded season. I know we didn't use it
at all the last three years. The snow thrower was sitting in the far
corner of the garage with lots of junk around it. On two separate
occasions I was out of town in February or March when at least an 18
incher hit New Jersey. The kids moved it out and couldn't start it.
