Carb may be gummed up

But start by changing the fuel filter. If that doesn't work, you have to rebuild or at least seriously clean the carb.
Take it off and go get a rebuild kit and a gallon of solvent/carb cleaner. Soak the carb in the solvent overnight, then carefully dismantle it (not much to do here). Clean out all the goop and if you can find some small wire brushes (ask where you get the rebuild kit) you can clean it all up.
Then you should be OK.
FWIW, I rarely remember to drain the gas, but I do put gas preservative in the gas, and run some Techron through the system a couple times a season.
My tractor and snowblower are more finicky than my mower.
OTOH, I drain my generator's tank after each use, as it may be a couple years between uses.
