What if anything have you done to the fuel system between it sitting and you starting it? Replace tank, lines, filters, etc???????? What was done to the fuel system if anything prior to it being stored? These answers will shed alot of light on the issue.

Still got points ? If you do, thats where to look next. That and make sure the carb's accellerator pump linkage is free of slack. What carb is on there? Set the base timing at 12* BTDC.
