Shouldn't be too hard to get it going.
Usually non-starting is 2 things:The points aren't contacting WELL, or the magneto is rusty,needing cleaned up.
But if you have a spark, it should fire.
So number 2 would be fuel supply into the combustion chamber. The engine has to suck it in there,so a blown crankseal or vacuum leak would be suspected if fuel is getting into the carb.
Is the spark plug getting wet? It will if you choke it and try to start it and it doesn't start.
Does it fire if you dribble a little gas into the spark plug hole? If it does, you have a fuel delivery problem. don-ohio (:^)
