Mine is two years old, probably less than 15 hours. Fuel is new as well.

Thanks

Dave,

One of the guys in our "group" had this problem and it was a carburetor issue. I can't recall if it was dirt or swelling in the diaphrams because of ethanol in the fuel, but that's where I'd start.

I have a Honda 2000 at work and we're not "religious" about draining the fuel and running it dry and we haven't run into that problem yet - knock on wood...
