Haven't ran it in a few months. Put in new plug and fresh fuel. Can't get it to crank?
Any thoughts?

Haha it would be cool if you could fit a storm trooper action figure in there..... Gonna need more info. Won't crank? You mean the rope feels stuck? or do you mean won't start up?
 
What carb. do you have on it ?
Does it have spark ?
Is the fuel new ?

Answer these & the questions above, and I bet we can help you figure it out.

Your Carburetor needs to be replace, it is better to replace it for $50.00 than dis-assemble and rebuild. Check out rebuilding Carburetors on you tube and you will see how hard it is to rebuild. I know because I had to replace mine. Just my option.
