I think most of the above suggestions should get you going..

Well thats just it, ive had it in my garage for years (probably 5-7 years at least) and its never run whilst ive had it! I took it off someone as a bit of a payment for something and it was in bits when I got it, rebuilt it to 90% complete but never got it running!
Only in the most recent efforts have I actually tried with any serious effort to get it started, i.e actually buying a pullstart and fuel for it! LOL!
It certainly should have a HG, it shows one in the instructions for the engine so id assume it should be there!
I think its a combination of a few things, HG and Ex gasket and also glow start/glow plug! Will try once more with the existing engine and if it doesnt run this time I might just stick a .18 lump in it!
