Problems starting

If it has been sitting for a while, it's most likely that the carburetor is clogged. I never took it apart, but it's doable and there are several good posts and also videos about it I think. Otherwise, I'd take it to a shop.

What exactly do you mean by "the spark plug blew out". Do you mean that it shot out of the engine? If so, seems like the threads in the head have gone, so the new plug is not making a seal.
