it could be many possibilities of problems, no one is going to be able to help until you do the things me and jack (lt80) are telling you to do, we need the possibilities narrowed down.

I don't know why hand choking works at times.
I feel that once this thing runs again, you'll not have any problems.

i would say check and make sure you have spark, pull the plug, put the plug into the spark plug boot, lay the threads of the plug against the frame or engine and crank it and check to make sure you have good spark

I've stripped it back down and found its blown half the head gasket off what's caused this
