well first off, take the wire off the spark plug, take a screwdriver and put in the plug cap and then put the end of the screwdriver over the top and see if you get a nice bright blue spark, and if you have spark, take the spark plug out, pour a teaspoon of gas down the cyclinder and pull about 3-6 times and see if it fires, if not its most likley a spark problem, if it does, carb clean time. and well for the first matter, have you tried putting a gas line on it and pulling a few times, no gas = no start

this will definitely sound stupid haha but no i didnt try to run any gas into yet. i just bought it at noon (its 3:45 now) so im just trying to get an idea of what i should do based off of what he told me is wrong with it. i dont like ****ing with things unless i know what i can do without ****ing anything up but once i get the gas tank and/or some gas ill try and run it. i live like a 5 minute walk from QT so ill walk over there in a little while. i appreciate your input though even if it doesnt fix it its a step in the right direction haha ill post more once i try everything you told me

It might have started life as a snow engine, in which case it had no air filter from the factory.

Great engine! Fix it up nice, it'll serve you 'till you die.

Use with caution. Those containers were NOT designed to hold fuel. As such, the plastics used may dissolve or degrade in continued exposure to gasoline. Much better to use a fuel-friendly container, or something made of metal. Also- ensure that whatever container you use is vented. A perfect airtight seal will create a vacuum that will starve the engine for fuel.
