I'd for sure start with the carb.

Isn't there a diaphragm in the carb that sucks the gas into your engine? If the diaphragm gets dry from no use, that might be the problem.

Start by checking to see that gas is getting to the carb. Pull the gas line off the carb, dump a little gas into the spark plug hole and start it, there should be a steady, pulsating flow of gas out of the gas line. If there isn't, first look at the fuel pickup line in the tank, if that is okay then check the vacuum line from the crankcase to the fuel pump for cracks and tight fittings, then fuel pump.
Once you do all this and have fuel to the carb, then start looking for carb issues. If it is the carb, start at the float bowl, then float needle, etc..
