  Sounds more like a fuel problem, in fact, sounds exactly like what a lot of
little 2-strokes like chainsaws, etc. suffer from with the diaphram carbs. Get
just a tiny dot of water on a diaphram and it screws it up. Can't suck up fuel
from the tank very easy. Or the really tiny screen filters it has get
clogged. And after awhile, the diaphrams just die and need replacing.
