Got fresh fuel? Here's a long shot...but I'm just throwing this out to make sure your bases are covered. About a year ago, I found a 5 gallon jug of old gas. When I say old, I mean the gas was probably in the jug at least 3 or 4 years. I was running a gasoline-powered fork lift and I ran it out of gas. The engine was warm and I put these 5 gallons of old gas in it. The warm engine started only when I pulled the choke out, which normally the warm engine would start with the choke pushed in. As soon as it was running, I found out it would only run with the choke fully out, but I was fine with that, thinking I was going to get rid of the old gas. Anyway, the forklift ran fine AS LONG AS THE CHOKE WAS PULLED FULLY OUT. I thought I was going to get several hours of "free" fuel. What I didn't realize was that the thing wouldn't start when the engine was cold. Matter-of-fact, I had to unscrew the little square-headed plug out of the intake manifold and shoot ether in it to get it running and then would only run with the choke out. After I had burned all the old gas out, it again ran fine. Anyway, I'm just making sure that the fuel isn't old in your tank.
