I put new gas in it, and checked the obvious. It needed a new on/off
switch. It has spark. I can't get it to pop, even with shooting a little
gas into the carb, or on the sponge air cleaner.


Another case of ethanol damage?

If it is stored with ethanol gas for more than 90 days you will often find a corroded carburetor.
Not really a big deal, a new carb is prolly only $50 or so. Yawn.
