All the previous replies are accurate. In addition, there are several other relatively common issues with 2 cycle engines. Over a period of time with non-use, the reed valves may "stick" (probably from dried fuel mixture). This can usually be corrected by pouring a small amount of fuel into the spark plug hole and starting the engine. The exhaust may be plugged with carbon build-up. This is expecially true if there is a piece of screen wire that acts as a spark arrestor. To fix this, you need to remove the muffler (or whatever else in in the exhaust flow) and scrape off the excess carbon. I assume that you have checked to make sure that you have a spark, any air intake filter is not clogged, etc.
