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 =

Timing looks ok, carbs in decent shape and recently tuned, relatively new s=
park plugs, etc.
Where should I look?
