Garden blower (Bolstone HR2)

I was kindly given it a few weeks ago, but regrettably I cannot start it.
It might be something as simple as needing a new spark plug, or maybe just some perseverance in pulling the starter rope.
I don't know.
Engines are a mystery to me.
If you want it, I'm located halfway between Holme Lacy and Little Birch (not Bolstone).
