Try draining the float chamber and refilling it with new petrol (petrol less than 4 weeks old)then try the engine again. Some 7s are known to be difficult to start on stale fuel.I believe that it doesn't vapourise so well when stale. Once running and warm it will run on the old fuel but you will have the same problem once you switch off and all goes cold.
