STIHL Stihl 026 Starting Issues

[CrystalRiver1]

Hey guys,
Bought a real nice 026 about a yr ago, ran it a couple times...no problems.
Always started with 3-4 pulls max.
Been sitting about 6-7 months now, I went to use it for backup duty today and it will Pop...but not start!
I've tried a number choke--no choke---combinations and nothing!
It will pop off...and then nothing!
I'm using ethanol free gas...maybe a tad old...but it ran my 261 & 660 a few days ago!

Any ideas---carb kit---spark plug...fuel lines?

My old 026 did that when one of the plastic elbows n the carb craked. Took a little bit to track down.

Yep, I know it's something simple...

Sparkplug boot wire is bit frazzled!!
