Try fresh fuel fuel is only good for 30 days in small engines if not the carb needs a good cleaning

Make sure you haven't used ethanol-blended gas in a briggs small engine. It will destroy the plastic internal carb pieces, thereby causing your carb to leak gas into the crankcase and flooding out the engine. If you check your gas it will be really thinned out, gassy smelling and black. It will also be overfilled.

The carbs are plugged. Take the bowl off the carburetor by loosening the nut on the bottom. You'll want to clamp the fuel line before you do this. That nut has a small hole that goes through the nut from side to side, and one that connects them in the center. Use a wire brush to knock all the deposits loose, making sure that the holes are clean and free of obstruction. Put it all back together, and it should run fine.

First pull your spark plug out reconnect to the plug wire and ground tot he engine body
Pull the starter cord and see if you have a good clean spark that goes to the electrode and not to the side of the spark plug.
If no spark check your off/on switch
