    Try pulling out the spark plug,spin the engine over with the plug out to get rid of any excess oil in the cylinder,clean the plug,or if its been a while replace the plug. Let us know how it goes.

    Post above is confusing, but on the right track.

    Drain oil to proper level.
    Remove plug.
    Spray carb cleaner in plug opening.
    Put rag over plug hole.
    Crank engine a few times.
    Repeat, spray/crank a few times.

    Get a new plug.
    You might spray some carb cleaner in air horn.

    Carb cleaner will act as starting fluid.
