The engine will turn over when ether is sprayed on the plug and replaced; however, it will not stay running. I have replaced the fuel in the tank and the oil but to no avail.
Chances are, your carb is gummed up and needs some attention. I stored a motorcycle for two years while I was in Iraq, and had the same problem. The bike would run, but very poorly.

Craftsman Manual Snowthrower with discount
Craftsman snow thrower attachment
Does anyone have any info on the model 842.240722 snow thrower? I found it on sears parts direct and it's listed as a 40" single stage, although I measured it at 34". but the manual is no longer available. If anyone is familier with it, I'd sure appreciate not having to spend the time figuring out how to hook it up on my own. lol ,If your interested in it come on over. This thing was part of the haul when I picked up the G12 and caster, the guy said "hey you've got room on the trailer, you want this too?" hard to say no to free. lol Main reason I want to hook it up is so I can up the asking price when I get rid of the craftsman mower. I've found parts lists for it but I've done a lot of digging and so far only found others looking for a manual too. 
I sure apreciate Y'all's effort. MH81 I didn't see the right number at the site you found, but I'll look again and keep it in mind as a backup plan. I recon I'll just get it underneth the mower and see what I can figure out when I get a chance. Sad thing is the darn thing weighs more than the mower does.
At least I have figured out one thing from the parts diagram, the rod that comes out on the right side about 6" and turns up is for a lift lever. So I at least know that it's not supposed to use the mower deck lift, just gotta figure out where to hook it and attach the idler.
