I've overhauled a few of these older engines. They will usually run even with a weak spark. Does it sputter or even try to start? Let's assume you have decent compression (no stuck valves), and the flywheel key has not sheared. If the engine hasa been sitting for 10 years, your problem is likely in the carb bowl. Thats where your jets are located and are probably gummed-up. Try spraying carb cleaner in all the orifices. And check the needle valve. Try a new spark. If you need further info, shoot me an E-Mail. Good luck with it.
