Hi,
Could be the starter pinion wedged in the ring gear. Try manually spinning engine counter-clockwise to counteract, if this is the case.
Could be that after sitting so long that the cylinder filled with fuel and is hydraulically locking. Remove spark plug and try to turn it over to clear the fuel from the cylinder (this should be done carefully as it presents a fire hazard.
Peace,
Clarke
