See if the spark plug is still attach. If so, pull plug, put finger in hole and pull the start rope. If it spins freely, major repair is in order. If you have compression, not all is lost. Put a couple of drops of gas in plug hole. Put plug back in motor. Try to start. If it start and runs a second or two, Your motor isn’t getting any fuel. Need to clean carbutator. Remember, you need three thing for a gas motor to run. Fuel, spark and compression.
