Take out the plug.
Pull the cord several times and let it sit for a day ( gets gas out of
crank case)
Next day pull it a couple more times
Get new plug and check for spark BEFORE you put it in
If no spark, check to make sure kill switch is in the RUN position
If you have spark, then install NEW plug
You're welcome
