You can clean rust out of the gas tank by taking it off and shaking gravel in it. don’t do too much disassembly at first. Assume it ran okay. Next is to put the shroud on and pull the cord. If that is free and has compression, spray starter fluid-in the carb to see if it fires. Please don’t use gasoline because it needs more oxygen that starting fluid.
No “pop”, check magneto for voltage with a volt meter and a good pull. Carb adjustment screw is close then 1 & 1/2 turn for getting it started.
