I would agree that one of the most likely causes of this is either fuel or spark. So let's start with fuel. When this is not starting, spray some starter fluid in the intake and see if it starts. If it doesn't then pull a plug and reconnect it to the ignition system and hold it against the block to see if you have spark.
