You saying the engine did start after you engaged choke? If the engine hasn't been run in a year, my first thought is the carb's are gummed up...or at least the jets. If you left fuel in the fuel system before storing the engine, yeah, this is most certainly the issue. Pull carbs, jets, and check floats. Make sure ALL jets are pulled and clear of debris. That's where I'd start first. If you can't get it running after doing this, check back and we'll go from there.
