OK, Here is my "it won't run" story, looking for some advice on where I should go from here. I've had this SA for about 2 months, started and ran great every time. Yesterday, I started it, it ran for about 30 seconds or so, then stalled and I haven't been able to get it started since. Has gas, I took the fuel line off at carb, and fuel flows out. I took a plug wire off, and could see the spark jumping to ground from it when I checked that. So unless I missed something obvious, I have fuel, and have fire. The engine spins over beautifully, but it's just not firing up. Any suggestions??
Thanks,
Kevin

Just keep a good strong battery on board and forget the engine. LOL!!! Check the needle valve and seat, betcha not getting gas to the carb bowl.

You are getting gas to the carb, but is the gas actually getting into the bowl? You might have a stuck needle valve.

There is a screen on the brass inlet to the carb. Be sure it is clean.

Yes, and if there is no gas, you might try spraying some carb cleaner into the fuel inlet, and some gentle tapping on the body of the carb. in the area of the needle valve. If you are succesfull, the carb cleaner should begin running out the plug in the bottom.
