spark plug could be oiled up, means your mixtures wrong.
take it out give it a clean. and new petrol.
if that dosent work, take carb off and clean the jets out.

do carb last as thats a big job as the whole swinngin arm needs to come off,, well it does on mine..
just take the plug out, give it a clean, sand down and then try that...
the oil drains when its been sitting for a long time you see mate...
mine wouldnt start and when i drained the tank and put fresh mix in.. it runs perfect now..
except ive snapped the throttle cable

either disconnect under the tank, or turn the bike upside down..
draining from under the tank can be messy if you dont get hold of the tubes..
id turn it over personally mate.. make sure all your petrol tubes are ok, not clogged up..simple things really. well im off to sleep now..any problems and give me a shout tmro..nite dude

Best way I've found in the two years of owning mine is to remove the air filter, blast a load of brake cleaner or WD40 (something highly flammable) in there then give it a good cranking. Mine usually fires after that.

That's because only chavs take them out in public spaces, I've only been out on mine on the old abandoned industrial estate, miles away from anyone/anywhere that might be annoyed by them.
Might take a few goes with the WD40 306Corsa, but should start soon.
Are you from round the West Mids?

Mine was sat for the past 7 months and it took me about an hour to start it. Just kept trying and trying and eventually it fired

check choke settings.
i wouldnt spray WD40, easy start would be better, WD40 isnt as flammable.

try putting the choke on, full throttle it and try starting it. Probably the first thing you tried
