agree with charlie - after sitting for 8 months, it's a given that you should clean up the points, just becuase. Just touch them up with some very fine sandpaper - nothing crazy, just enough to kind of "wipe them off".
Also pull each plug, clean it off, and make sure you're getting a good spark to each.

First of all - fuel filters are generally not needed and only introduce another weak link. If it can be removed from the picture easily enough, i'd do that. If not - just be sure fuel's flowing through good.

With a known good spark in all cylinders, and a clean carb - most likely it'll fire up.
Tip cleaners work well for tiny passages (sold in packs for use on torches - any home depot has them)
