Hi all

New to the game so need some guidance

Picked up an old victa imperial 16 inch cylinder mower which has a hk25 engine and I believe hadn’t run in a while

Initially had no spark even with new spark plug. Had no readings on ignition coil so replaced it, cleaned up the magnets and flywheel etc and now have a spark

Now onto the next area. Put in fresh fuel, drained oil and put in fresh oil but can’t still get it to start.

The Carby is quite dirty and I plan to replace with aftermarket or clean this up. Float valve drips fuel at the moment too

Would this be the next step or should I look elsewhere.
What else can be done to get this going?

Thanks
