After 35 consecutive uses with no starting problems with this engine with only 75 hrs, it wont start after running fine for 1-2 hrs that same day. Turned off the engine, 3 minutes later it wouldn't strart with 2-3 gallons in tank.

Today I made sure the tank was full, gas from tank through gas line was good to the engine connectot, starter and battery is strong. i checked all the connections to be good. I hooked up the hose to the engine in driveway today with 4 good attempts, no cigar.

Any suggestions? Carb starter fluid, new spark plugs?
