Carefully squirt fuel mix into the carb intake if the motor responds you most likely need to rebuild the carb with careful attention to cleaning all passages and jets.If the motor has sat a lot you should go through the fuel syatem from tank to carb.

For step by step troubleshooting, go to the Engine FAQs forum (above) and do "Outboard won't start".

I agree with Spike, you probably have a gummed up carburetor.
