is this the first time you are running it? and did you recently buy the fuel, or is that from 7 years ago too?

If it started and ran yesterday your settings should be fine check for any air bubbles in the line or small breaks in the line.

i would trow a new plug in their just to make sure. some times they go bad but will still light when you hook up the glow starter
if it was running well the day before i wouldnt mess with the needle settings untill you tried a new plug

Try cleaning the fuel filter, puting in a new glow plug, checking the fuel lines. cleaning the carb out.
