we were in the same boat today. My areins 11.5 hp, 2 yrs old. Started but idle was bouncing up- n- down. Wound up being a gummed up needle valve. Even with stabilizer and draining it dry last year.
*** old trick. get your trusty wd-40. remove the cover on the carb. spray directly into carb while hitting starter. it should pop and run a little.... if you keep spraying in bursts ir will stay alive a while. this will isolate a fuel problem... and often free a sticky float.
If nothing... then my guess is spark. check all safety controls are off... auger ect... it can kill spark as safety.
You can unscrew the plug. plug it into the wire - out of motor, hold against side of motor, hit starter and look for the plug sparking- use pliers with rubber handle to hold it..not bare hand.
keep in mind wd-40 id flammable if you wind up spraying it all over- wipe it up before checking spark like this.
let us know how you are making out.
