I have never had a problem with old gas. I have had a problem with
water in gas as it will settle to the bottom of the tank and you will
only suck up water. If its not even catching a little bit I would
check for spark on one of the wires hook up a timing light hold the
trigger and turn it over. If no spark then check cap and rotor.
Good luck
