Briggs & Stratton v-twin won't start

[eggsarascal]

I've had two of these v-twins, the only starting issues I've had with them is carb related. I used to take them to an old boy who's work was garden machinery, he could have the carb off, cleaned and back running in half hour. they really don't like stale fuel.

Just to chuck in my two penn'orth on the side; also only regarding the single cylinder mowers but my first go to is always clean the gunge out of the carb bowl and clean the white chalky encrustinations out of the main jet with a set of fine carb files (look upon it as an opportunity to buy)
