Put a teaspoon of fuel mix down the plug hole and warm the plug

Splash some fuel over the air filter. then quickly start her up.

No obvious reason it shouldn't start but it may not keep going as rubbers are likely to be perished.

 

I was given a big saw with 13-year old mix in it that hadn't been started in that time:  I tipped out the filth, poured in some fresh, swilled it round, tipped it out, put in fresh and it took just 12 pulls for the machine to be purring.

Just done an 020t for someone.  Similar time frame.  New impulse hose and carb internals and it runs like new.
