Gene,
Hi and thanks for using the Answer Army to post your question.
Chances are very good that the 4 months that the machine sat the gas became non-volatile. Even though you removed the old fuel, the carburetor, the fuel lines etc still have the old fuel in the system. Your best bet is to take the machine into a service center and have those guy's flush the system, and clean the carburetor.
You can find a service locator by going to www.weedeater.com and click on service locator.
I hope this helps and thanks again for using the Answer Army.
