dave can be very busy sometimes. try some home repairs before taking it somewhere. only if you feel comfortable doing so

check fuel system. fuel filters. fuel quality (not old). water (most probable).

if it "spits" Fires. then its trying to start so its getting spark.

my guess is on fuel.

good luck. Kyle

I had a similar problem to the one you describe and it turned out to be a stuck float in the carb. A quick tap or two should free up the float and you should be able to fire it up.

Changing the water seperator filter, fuel filter etc is also a very good idea no matter what.

Good luck

Well, did anything work? Did you solve the problem?
