Is it getting fuel in the cylinders? If it ran when parked and sat for a year I would suspect fuel delivery.

Run some good fuel system cleaner through and leave it as long as possible.
Hey Tyler,
- You could start by confirming that there is fuel/petrol in the carb float bowls by draining EACH one.
- You could also check:
- cylinder compression
- Clear and clean air box and filter
- No air leaks beyond the throttle/butterfly plates
- Exhaust pipe is clean and clear of obstructions like rodent or bird nesting material, etc.
- Ensure there is no water at the bottom of the fuel tank. Even though you add fresh gas, water will settle to bottom first
