Nothing wrong with a little prime of gas down the carb first.
However before pulling apart the fuel line, ( having the chance of gasoline splash in your work area ) do the spark check. First at the plug, if bad, then the coil and points.
With the spark being confirmed and still no life, it's time to see if the valves are sticking open.
Do a compression check. Remove all the plugs. Disconnect the coil.
Squirt Marvel Mystery Oil into the cylinders. (
Actually I prefer to do this before cranking any motor that has been asleep that long. )
Tie open the throttle!
With a strong battery, have a helper crank it for you. Read the gauge while cranking. Give each cylinder ( With the gauge connected ) three or more compression strokes to get an optlmum reading. Write down the readings of each cylinder as you go.
Bad gas as alanwoodieman stated can and or will give trouble.
When dealing with disposal I am committed to saying, work
outside! ( check pathway to exits, if you can't ) Have a charged extinguisher. A bag of oil dri is also handy. I hate fire.
