Is there anything I can try to resurrect it? The oil/petrol mix has been

Definitely. Two-smoke mix separates over time, apart from anything else,
so you'll have some really oily fuel at the bottom and plain petrol at
the top of the tank.

It's probably a bit gummed up in the carb, and maybe the pump diaphragm's
gone hard or even torn. But it really shouldn't be hard to get going.

and, something else I thought of: take the spark plug out and clean/regap
it.
