Check your needles are clean on the carby, in particular the main needle. If you leave fuel sitting around for too long it turns to jelly and gums up everything. If this has happened its probably the same inside the engine all gummed up and possible rusty.

First of all open up the engine clean up all the gunk, take a clean fuel line and connect it to the fuel intake and blow from the other end to get all the gunk trapped inside the carb. Same thing with the fuel tank. Before sealing the engine make sure to lube it with some after run oil.
