Clogged main jet (I doubt a 2 HP is injected...) You MAY get it cleared

the intake while revving the motor. Remove palm before the engine
stalls. Failing that, you can sometimes clear a jet by finding the main
jet air bleed port in the carb venturi, and spraying some carb clean
down it. Failing that, try filling the float bowl with said carb clean.
This may help clear the clog as the cleaner goes through. Failing that,
o/haul carb.
That should keep you busy a while.

JR,

Thank you very much. Choking the carb while revving cleared it, took
about 6 hard rev's. I can't believe it. That makes my new years day.

BTW I did burn the fuel out before storing. I think this time, in
addition to using stabil (which I did), I will just dump the engine
over and drain the gass from the tank too.

thanks for all the help gents. Happy new year.
