Answer 1

Basically you have to remove the spark plug.It will have oil and unburned gas on it.You have to wipe it clean and replace it.Don't use the choke as there is already gas in the line.Try it with one or two strokes then gently pull or push the choke one third of the way and give it a try again.

Answer 2

Find the biggest pair of scissors you can find and get to it.

Answer 3

When was the last time it ran?

If it has been sitting around afor a few months the gas may have turned into  a sludge in the carb and maybe be gumming it up.

Tell us some more info please.

Answer 4

Check around the carb or the base of the fuel tank for a fuel shut off.
