Float may be sticking, at times; sticking open in carburetor allowing too much gas; or may be sticking closed not allowing enough gas to enter the carburetor.
Take intake hose off carburetor and spray WD-40 into the carburetor while someone else is turning the starter over. If it starts, you have a problem with lack of gas.
