Default Johnson Colt 2HP No Start Problem Returns

When it does not start, try checking the ignition with a spark checker. It
should jump a 3/8 inch air gap. If not, you have an electrical issue, if it
does, then you have a fuel issue.

May also want to check compression. I take it the fuel is fresh fuel?????

Anybody want to take a crack at this again? Everything that I know how
to check has been checked. The carburetor was disassembled and
reassembled and the engine started on the first pull. It restarted
numerous times during the day. The next morning, it wouldn't start
again.
It seems that something happens (maybe to the float level?) when
the engine sits.
Does anyone have any ideas?
Thanks .
