I agree with fastblasterboy. Have you ever changed your spark plug. If not it is probably used up. Try to put a new plug in it then try to start it it might just be a lot easier.
Pull the plug and check if it is fouled. Its fouled if it is oily and wet. You can either clean it or buy a new one. Also chek your compression it might be time for a rebuild.
