If it has been sitting for a while, I would check the wires to make sure no rodents chewed through any wires... then new spark plugs and check the coil... by the way, Welcome to

You should prolly get them cleaned out before you start adjusting

Hi there... I know 3 websites that even have the microfiches

Change the sparkplug, clean the carb and check all the connectors for rust..
