I actually replaced the plug as it's quite old and was able to get it started. But then whilst I was using it perhaps after emptying the catcher 2 or 3 times, it stopped and now I'm having problem starting it again.
I'll try putting some fuel on the plug hole and see how it goes. I'm not sure where to put fuel on the carb. Is this where the air cleaner is mounted and thru the hole where the choke valve is ?
Thanks for the help.
