You didn't say, but if it has been stored for several months without drivin=
g, stale fuel can do exactly that.  Solution is to dirve it until it is nea=
r emty, then refill, or drain it and refill with fresh fuel.

After that, no problems.  Turn it off, back on, no problems.  Not sure how =
long it has to sit to exhibit this issue.

Timing looks ok, carbs in decent shape and recently tuned, relatively new s=
park plugs, etc.

Where should I look?
