Answer:
What is the engine model, type and code/serial number again?  Were you using new fuel as priming fuel?

Have you replaced the spark plug?  It could have fouled with the old gas.

Answer
When did the engine last run?  It is very odd to have spark and the engine not to start while priming with gas.

How much gas are you using to prime the engine?
Do you have a compression gauge to check the engine compression?  Usually those engine will start even if they have low compression.
