spree won't turn over after winter storage

I took my spree out of my garage yesterday after not having run it since November. I was too lazy at the time to do anything to prepare it for storage, so of course it won't start now. I charged up the battery and have tried kick starting it many times. It tries to start but doesn't have much power and never actually turns over. I guess I will try draining and replacing the gas and maybe the oil unless anyone else has any genius ideas?

Try jump starting it, and if that doesn't work you can try priming it by putting a small amount of gas in the combustion chamber. If that doesn't work, change the gas.

Clean your carb.
Drain half the gas with a turkey baster, and top er off with fresh stuff. Once you get it running, leave it running.
Then, pour 1/4 can of SeaFoam in the gas and leave it run for 10 more minutes. Then take it for a drive to clean out the nasty s***.when you get back, topp of the tank again, and put in another 1/4 can of seafoam.
