Sounds like needle valve that is attatched to float bowl is stuck, may want to drop float bowl and let some gas run out. or at least take out main jet that holds float bowl on and let some fuel run out. Old fuel will varnish and make carb. parts stick and or clog jets. Careful as you know gas is very flammable , do it outside. If it doesn't start after that i would have carb rebuilt. hope this helps
