Welcome Ryan,
The first thing you need to do is go to the 'How to Restore' section and read up on the literature for your model. After that read up online about how a two-stroke motor works (unless you already know). Then purchase a Parts book and a Service manual for your model. Reprints are available at reasonable prices. If you're just attempting to see if it runs score a wiring diagram and apply the knowledge you already have with cars. Once you've gone through (some/all) of these steps you'll know the right questions to ask the members.
Best of Luck ...and again, Welcome!
