5 years standing is a long time. Carburetor float will be stuck. Pull the plugs and see if they are wet and also if you have a spark.
Strip and clean carb and jets.
Check fuel tap and fuel delivery.
Drain any fuel and replace with new.
Replace the spark plug.
No lights is odd. Check if there are fuses?
Put a new battery in it and add it to the price. ATV batteries are abused, they need a trickle charge if not used for a month. Expected life in a neglected state would be 3 to 4 years. Is it the original battery and 8 years old? Strip and clean the carburetor.
are you into troubleshooting? Probably not, but one must have fuel, ignition, and air to make things burn or run an ICE.
What don't you have?
Is there an ignition source? Did you pull the spark plug and verify it will spark?
Is there fuel? No, not in the tank, it must be getting to the engine.
Is the spark plug wet? If it isn't wet with fuel, you are not getting fuel.
Is there air? No, not what you are breathing, but getting to the carburetor. Did you check the air cleaner?
Did you drain the carburetor at the end of the season, or shut off the gas valve and run the carburetor dry? If not, the issue is probably varnish and gum from the evaporated gas plugging up the carburetor. You will have to pull the carb apart and clean it.
Are the plugs wet with gas after you prime the engine and try turning it over a few times? You may not be getting gas to the cylinders if you left gas in the fuel system when you put it away and it has evaporated and left behind gunk that causes the carburetor to stick or the injectors to clog. (I always use Sta-bil or a similar gas storage treatment when putting up a wet engine). Get two bottles of carburetor/injector cleaner. Put one in the gas tank to mix with the gas there. If you have access to the carburetor, pour part of the bottle of cleaner into the carburetor and work the throttle and choke back and forth a few times with the cleaner in place. Gently try moving the choke plate or float to see if they are sticking. Replace the carburetor housing and try cranking the engine several times. Otherwise, you probably need to have a mechanic look at it.
you are fouling spark plugs. the atv is running way too rich. either the air filter is super dirty or exhaust has been modified (race pipe, baffle removed, etc)
if none of those have been done then maybe your carburetor needle is stuck open and is flooding the motor and the carb needs cleaned.
Check your Air Filter, clean it out, check for obvious blockages. Change the filter if it looks well used (look for excessive dust or color change on the inner part of the filter) or obvious wear.
Check for other blockages around the air filter inlet.
Check the spark plug, just change it for a new one so that eliminates that possibly.
Check your fuel filter and replace if needed.
Check the fuel tank for corrosion or dirt in the fuel. Empty it out, Clean it and add new fuel, be sure you have the correct fuel.
Check your Air / Fuel mix adjustment screws on the carburetor.
