Unless you’ve been dumping loads of fuel in it I wouldn’t worry about the oil as long as it shows good on the dipstick. Figure out how to get it running before you waste fresh oil on an unkown motor.
An easy way to check for fuel is to look down the throat of the carb and move the throttle linkage, you should see/hear the accelerator pump working.

You can fill the carb float bowl thru the air vent tube at the top of the carb,using a small funnel or a piece of hose in a bottle..then if it'll start it will run about a minute or more instead of just a few seconds..
After the bowl is full you should be able to see gas squirting into the venturi's when you move the throttle or pump the gas pedal,if the carb's accelerator pump works..

could be ignition module
use starting fluid instead of gasoline...if it doesn't run at least a few rounds with starting fluid it has an ignition problem...

Yea that's what I'm thinking. When I bought the motor it didn't have a distributor. I used the old one of the other engine that went bad. The cap was bad melted a hole into it. I bought another cap I'm thinking off. It did have spark tho I put a screw driver number 1 wire shocked the shit of me lol. I've seen people do it and it just shoots a spark lol no rubber handle on the screwdriver.
