Have you contacted Southwest Mower on Hwy 90, Stafford? They work on most any 
small gas engines.

I may be a "Possible help" Tuesday afternoon. I am in the process of packing

You may wish to consider that 'Sea Foam' and other 'storage' chemicals are 
often used to keep gasoline from 'gelling' which can plug the carburetor up.

The other issue is that over long periods of time, the octane ( lightest ) 
portion of the gasoline tends to evaporate.

Either way, the usual cure is to siphon the tank clean- add starting fluid*, 
run briefly to clear the carb and combustion, then refill with clean and fresh 
gas.

If someone else does this, you may also want to offer that some crankshafts can 
be connected to a drill for less 'armstrong', if need be.

A timing light or other spark indicator is safer than a temporary outside gap. 
Automotive stores sometimes have small 'neon light pens' for this.

If stored in a dusty environment, you may also need an air filter- yet this is 
seldom the case.

(* I recently used 'Gumout' brand starting fluid to start an engine that had 
been overfilled with oil- back into the carb- a pressure washer system- it also 
took many turns of the crank ).

Need someone who can work on my 5KW Sears Generator, Generator  part works but 
the gas engine won’t start. Suspect I left the gas in it too long.
