1. Old fuel is not good for the engine nor is it good for the carb.
2. The carb should be cleaned and the fuel mix should be dumped and replaced with fresh and mixed correctly..Also reset the float height.
3. You need to do a compression test. I feel like the old fuel mix mat have seized the ring into the piston and thus has lost compression.
4. A bike setting that long may have also hurt the crank seals and thus so much oil coming out.
5. I still can't tell what you were turning.
6. A new spark plug is in order.
7. Get a service manual for your ride.
