there should be a single wire that runs over the air box from a kill switch to the coil, you may need to removed the top cover to the engine and unplug the wire from the coil , after you disconnect it you can now pull the recoil again and test spark,still no spark make sure your magnets are good on the fly wheel and if so you have a bad coil.

What did you do to clean the carb? did you take it apart? did you take the jet out? sounds like a carb problem to me. other than that your govenor is out of adjustment. more than likely if it was running fine before and has been sitting for as long as you say, 99% chance you didn't clean the carb all that good.
