didn't have a lot of time to tinker with it but pulled the spark plug,pulled the cord and I have excellent spark. turned it over with plug out,no wetness and plug was dry...kinda dark but not wet at all.
ill check carb tmrw....last time it did this was when I cleaned the carb and installed the new choke cable. This keeps up,its gonna get a starter put on it.lol

well,I havnt touched it till late this evening,decided to just pull it and second pull,it fired up. i did notice the pull start was easier to pull than when it wouldn't start.
I don't think its a weather temperament issue as the weather is about the same as it was the day it wouldn't fire back up.

Always turn the fuel valve off on the old two strokes when you're through riding for the day. Could leak fuel past the carb needle and seat into the crank case making starting hard. Plus could have been when you pulled the plug and turned the engine over,may have freed one of these critters.. Happy New Year!
