I need to know a couple things. First, when it doesn't start, have you checked to see if there is spark and fuel to the engine? Also, has the check engine light come on?

Let me know.

If you are getting spark and fuel, it should run. Is the spark a blue snapping hot spark or is it orange or white in color? Have you ever tried starting it with starting fluid when it does this?
