The pull cord is pulling but with lots of resistance.
Drained the fule mix and added fresh, no help.
Will engin cleaning solvent and new plug be enough?

Without seeing it and pulling for myself this is hard to diagnos. Try pulling the spark plug and puling the cord. There should no longer be any resistance. If there is then remove the covering and make sure there is nothing obstructing the flywheel. Then I would just start it up and see how it runs. There may not have been any harm in letting it sit, although I would not recommend doing it again
