If it has ever sat for more than a few months at any point, then there's a good chance that the carburetor has fuel varnish inside that has plugged up the very small internal passageways. In which case the carb will need to be completely disassembled and cleaned. Be sure to refill the tank with fresh gasoline.
If that's not the issue, then check the compression. A four cycle engine, like yours, has got to be capable of producing at least 140 psi of compression in order to idle properly. If the compression is low, adjust the valve tappet clearances. Insufficient tappet clearance is the #1 cause of low compression in four cycle engines.

What exactly did you do , or it just happened not to idle by itself?
