I have not seen one that is worth taking to the shop to repair.

It sounds like a fuel and or air problem if you are getting spark (assuming the coil is good).

For fuel, the filter/lines could be cracked or clogged. The carb could be gummed up.

Worse would be if you had an air leak.

Check that your air filter is not clogged.

Before you toss it, check and see if the carb screws are tight. If they are loose it will cause an air leak. I must add that my brother had one that the carb screws were loose which caused it to run lean and when he asked me to repair it,
it had very low compression. He replaced it with an Echo.

Good Luck.

If it just stopped blowing the fan could have loosened and took out the flywheel key causing the no start.
