If spark plugs seemed to make it stop before, that is where we need to start this time. How long did the issue stop after you put the plugs in it?

Here is a guide that will help with this issue in general:

However, let's pull a couple spark plugs and get a picture of the tips and we can see what they look like. That will tell us what the possible issue is.

I suspect you have an oil issue or even an over fueling issue that is fouling the spark plugs but we need to start with what they look like and go from there. Thanks
