That's probably extreme BUT if it has gas and spark and won't start you've got to look at other options. Nylon gear timing chain slipped?
I like to use pre-mix 2 cycle gas to try and start motors as they provide some cylinder wall lubrication. Fill a paint thinner can cap and dump it in the carb, crank it over and see if that works. Then I'd be looking at fuel pump or carb.
