    I wouldnt worry about what shape the piston is in.. unless you are rebuilding it.

    Probably carburettor just gunked up. If its a 2-stroke, the oil dries out and blocks up everything.
    Dismantle the carb, clean everything, put it back together, play around with throttle and choke positions to start.

    I left petrol in the tank and didn't have a look into leaf blower for last 3 weeks, yesterday I had a look and it started to work.
