The fuel system is probably gummed up from the gas sitting in the unit. Change the gas and use a fuel additive such as Star Tron in the new gas to help clean it out. If that doesn't get it, you may end up needing to replace the fuel filter and/or rebuild the carburetor. You can get the model # from your carburetor (usually stamped into the housing of the carburetor, itself) and enter it at PartsBuggy's website here to get a list of the available repair kits.
Ethanol in fuel shortens the shelf life of fuel dramatically and using Star Tron can all but eliminate the problems of ethanol in today's fuel.
sounds like it was put for a while with fuel in it ,,that hard ball keeps getting harder because it cant flow thru the system, that yellow knob adjusts your choke flap just to be set not pumped is going to have to be cleaned with carb cleaner
You need to disassemble the carb. and spray with carb. cleaner. If you need tips on how to do this, just let me know. You may need a new carb. kit as well, but we won't know that until you first perform the first step, or if the carb. parts are more than 3 years old. If they are, then go ahead and buy the carb. kit and replace the parts.
Your carburetor needs cleaned you had old gas in it this cloggedup your jets and made the diaprams hard witch will not move enough to pump enough gas to keep engine running off choke.
