Try replacing the fuel filter, it may be plugged.
Also try adjusting your carberator, the idling screw may be turned down to low.

Same answer as the guy above dump that tank get rid of that old fuel. Also before you take the time to do all that try a little starter fluid in the carb of if its fuel injected spray some into the throttle body if this gets the motor starting then definitely dump the fuel and replace it with new fuel. Run it good after that get all that old junk out of there. Good luck

Sat for 8 years?Did you replace ALL the gas in it? You may want to start here...I would also put in about 2 cans of stuff called "sea foam" into it with fresh gas,after i removed and cleaned all fuel lines,fuel pump and injectors with denatured alcohol and compressed air.
