Answer 1

If you have left it that long don't start it or the engine will seize.

charge the battery, and change the engine oil as it will be congeiled. clean the sparkplug(s) aswell.

Answer 2

as answer before really  also put new fuel in it -ie- fuel tank clean the fuel filter  and clean the carb out properly with some compressed air from halfords a small can is cheap about  ÃƒÂ‚£3-4 pounds you can blow the jets out with this .   what happens is the petrol goes sticky and clogs the jets up , take the jets out put them in clean petrol for  a bit and then blow them through with the air.

ask again if you want any more help

Answer 3

old fuel will cause the carb to corrode...strip it ,and remove copper jets and blow the lot out with an air hose..then refit...remove the spark plug and poor a little fuel in the hole...this will help it fire up...
