been sitting a year? first drain the fuel from the tank (dispose of properly ), add a pint of isopropyl alcohol (denatured rubbing alcohol) and as much gas as you can... to dilute any moisture in the tank and remove as much bad fuel as possible.
then set the timing properly and see how it goes.

The fuel was the first thing that I changed I put my hand thru the hole were the fuel pump is with a rag full of orange fuel. next I thought it might have been the fuel filter it was full of the same stuff let it drain out.
