How can i fix my mini motor?

My mini motor has been sitting in the garage for three months now and every time i try to start it, it would be running for ten seconds and it would cut out again. Can you help me on this one.

hi graham, sounds like you may have a fuel problem. pull the fuel lead off the petrol tank, make sure there's juice coming out. if thats ok then check the carb, you may have to strip & clean it. check the float level, make sure the carb is filling up with fuel. next have a look at the air filter, it should be clean. make sure you've nothing obstructing the air box & air is getting through the filter. bolt everything back together, stick a new spark plug into it & see how it goes. if it's still not going then post another message we'll help you out.
