After gradual hard-starting to no-starting, and much diagnostic poking around, plus changing air filter, spark plug, cleaning carb, etc., I found the problem: insufficient compression due to a blown head gasket. The engine is still just shy of expiration of 2-year warranty, but the gasket is cheap and easy to replace. I'll get it next week and I'm hoping to get back to the easy-start, purring engine it has been up until now. Naturally, I'm concerned about what caused the gasket failure. Does anyone out there have experience or tips about what to look at or think about here? Thanks. Gary
