Yep, soak in the good carb cleaner, cold metal parts cleaner, as said...I made the mistake of reaching in un-gloved, once, decades ago. The good stuff is hard to find, but my hand was near twice the size, pickled white, with flesh rubbery and about to peel off. Near instantly. Good for parts, not good for your hands.
Remember, it only takes fuel, air, spark, and compression for a gasoline engine to run. Isolate the problem, then address accordingly.
I once pulled spark plugs, sprayed ether into combustion chamber, re-installed plugs quick, it fired.

BTW- a guy checked his plugs for spark by holding them grounded next to plug hole. PLENTY of fuel, the spark ignited the fuel, (ign good), burnt his truck and garage down.
Fire Dept had to respond.

It increased the farm productivity and, in general, made life easier because more work could be done with this 'mechanical beast'. My dad dreamed that some day he would have his own tractor with every implement he could get. When he rea
