Drain all old fuel from tank and carb,check what state the inside of the carb is in and clean if necessary,check you've got a spark,add fresh fuel,allow time for the carb to fill and prod away on the kickstart - simples😉

Take the plug out, check you have a spark , drop a little bit of 2 stroke down the plug hole,kick it over a few times then put the plug back in, strip & clean the carb, drain any fuel out the tank & refill with fresh petrol & then you should be good to go for a start up👍
