Never too late to try it, but don't know if it will help. Can't hurt.Hope you changed oil before trying to start it. You can also add a little kerosene to possibly loosen up the seals...You know, squirt, sit, turn, squit, sit etc. Do ATF then check compression.

Check the seals through the plug holes.
