It may be fouled out with black soot or white ash, so you may have to take it out and clean it, and check that the gap is correct. The standard gap size is .35 ... Also, you should trouble shoot and make sure that gas is reaching the carbuerator. And the choke may need re-setting. It's difficult to be more precise without a bit more info on how the engine is reacting...i.e., is it catching, then shutting off, not firing at all....etc. good luck It’s been my experience that spark plugs last a bit longer than just one year.

The spark plug needs to be changed every year or 6 months , depending on how much you use it. Be sure that the gas in not more than 4 months old, that will keep it from starting too. But it is probably the spark plug. I had the same problem 2 weeks ago. The spark plug needs to be changed every year or 6 months , depending on how much you use it.
