My MQ14D was not used for a number of years
Gave it a pull and it was siezed. Unsiezed it but now it gets no gas I took the carb top off and it seems clean.
It runs with quick start down the carb for a few seconds then stalls.
Ideas?

Dont use quick start as it has no oil/lubrication in it. Mix up a spray bottle of 50:1 fuel and spray it in.

It sounds like your carb is not working correctly. It if runs when you spray fuel in it then it's not getting fuel normally. I'd take the carb off, fully clean it, put a new carb kit on it and the re-install.

Replace the fuel lines while you're in there, or at least flush w/bulb briefly before re-hooking line to carb to ensure good, new fuel.
