I have an older Briggs & Stratton 3 hp engine on a tiller that has not been started in about 10 years. I have changed the points and spark plug, but still cannot get it to start. Any suggestions? Thanks

Check for a clogged air filter.Try starting it without the air filter installed. Check for loose wires to the spark plug and ground. I am assuming there is gas in the tank, but does it get to the carb? Check the gas line, is it blocked? Is the carb leaking?
My 550 engine won't stop when using the stop lever. What is wrong?
