I too recommend draining all gas from the fuel system and replacing with fresh gas. "Modern" gas has a shelf life of about 30 days before beginning to detiorate according to the refinery data.

Crank the starter and observe the plug for a fat, blue spark. The suggestion to run a compression check is important to determine if there is a compression leak [stuck valve(s)], and/or stuck rings. Keep us informed of your progress if you wish.
