I think I found the problem. I was checking the spark plugs last night, and when I pulled the wire off the last one, the metal socket from the inside stayed on the plug! I was going to try putting it back on, but after testing the wire, I found it was dead. So I put a new set of wires on, and it works great! For now at least. :? we'll see if something else pops up. I also sprayed the carb with some more cleaner, so that probably helped some.
