I always ask myself when I run into a old piece of equipment sitting some where, why did the owner first just let it sit. For all you know there may have been a major issue with this engine and it would not start 4 years ago for the original owner. Tough to diagnois now. Tell me what/why you say "had to disengage the kill switch to on all times." If this engine has no pull rope there aren't many sfae ways to try to start it.
