One of the problems that I have run into with Poulans is that the rings and cylinder wall wears pretty quickly leaving you with not enough compression to start the engine. As suggested earlier, put a bit of fuel in the sparkplug hole, replace the plug and try to start it. If it fires it is most likely a fuel issue. The diaphrams in the carburetor can dry and stretch. This will cause starting and running issues.
