I'm a bit confused here. You said, "it does not start when you are pouring gas down the carb and it will try to start every now and then." Then you said "last weekend it would run when it had gas." Last you said, "you checked for spark and you would not get any unless you barely put the key on."

If you are having trouble with english (which is understandable with people who do not use english as their primary language) try using short words/sentences that describe what you are doing example...

car in storage for 5 years
wont start
turn ignition
car wont start
checked spark
no spark
turn key a little
i got spark
car starts
not idleing good

Also give exact steps what you did from the very first thing to the last without jumping around, it will help us help you with your problem.

hopefully this will help

Make sure that you are able to get good, consistent spark before proceeding with any other trouble shooting. Rig it up if you have too, but without assured spark you might end up chasing your own tail....
