Has it ever sat for a few months with the fuel left in it? Old gas can leave crystals behind in the fuel bowl that can mess things up. Debris in the tank sloshing around intermittently blocking the fuel pickup?

Maybe I answered my own question.



Two months is a pretty short time for the fuel to crystalize so that seems unlikely. Still, if it's easy to pull the fuel bowl it wouldn't be a bad idea to take a look. On some small engines you could do this in about one minute but not sure about yours.

Thanks for posting your solution. I've never read a study on the effects of ethanol on small engines but it's probably not good. If they are selling E-10 for gasoline in your area that may be part of the problem.
