There still could be old fuel in the fuel lines. Try a small squirt of starting fluid into the carb. If it fires on that the condenser and points are ok. Do this at most 2 more times.

Do u have hard starting hot or cold engine? Start w a gas filter. more info needed. Make sure u have spark & fuel at the plugs. Don't flood the motor if u have no spark
You could have a hole you cant see in the primer or line to the carb. They vibrate and rub. Make sure you DONT use eco gas. This will turn your gaskets to trash in one summer of not using it. Lastly dump out the old gas and start with new. Snow blowers are famous for condensation building in the tank. Hope I helped
Battery required? Charge battery or replace. Replace air filter and spark plug. Dump out old oil and replace with 30w oil. Electric start may have a fuse blown. Dump out old gas fill with new with Stabile always added to gas. Try spraying starter spray in carb at air cleaner with filter removed. All mowers have a low oil sensor to prevent starting on low oil. Remove bowl from carb, should be full of gas. Pinch off fuel line with pliers or turn fuel valve off. Check float should be hanging down allowing fuel flow. Float up stops fuel flow.
Check the air filter and ensure that the fuel is pretty new. Today's fuel goes starts to go bad after about a month. So if the gas you left gas in it from last season or put old gas in it, it may well not start. Dump out the old stuff and put in new. If it sat with old gas and changing the gas will not let it start them you may have to clean the carb.
Does it have old gas in it? Fuel stabilizer added to old gas is added too late, must be put in with fresh gas. Drain fuel and replace with new gas. Drain carb. also while tank empty and fuel lines if you can. If lucky you will not need to take carb. apart to clean.
Putting fuel mixed with the oil shouldn't hurt anything, you must have just fouled the plug, get a new plug in there and see if it fires. NGK is the best for 2 stroke.. If it fouls out again, drain the tank or most of it and put in fresh gas, it should clear up. The mix is very slight with the injectors running, I had oil injection on my old Saab and used to put in the premix all the time just in case, always had extra plugs with me cause they always fouled out. My wife would come home and say whats for dinner, i would have the spark plugs in the oven baking.
You can try spraying some carburetor cleaner into the carb. If it starts for a minute, your carburetor need cleaning. When you added new gas did you remove the old gas first? Is the air filter clean?
1. has it been sitting?
2.if yes dump out the old gas and what is premixed since it is possibly old, 2 months max.
3. new prem gas and oil mix.
4.press the comp release when starting , was this pressed when you checked compression?
5.if will not sart try a quick blast of WD-40 in carb or a little gas. WD is flammable and will let you know if fuel related. if it fires for a couple seconds then sparks ok and still has gas problem. try one more time and maybe stuck fuel pump flaps in carb will become unstuck. if it runs on WD or small amount of gas in carb but not otherwise, sparks OK. time to rebuild carb check filter and Gas Line.
As always when playing with gas or other Flammables have a Fire Extinguisher ready for the "Expected". Always expect a fire that way you are calm, VERY important if you have spectators.
