What type of motor is it? Two stroke or 4? I've been told that if you've added an ethanol mix/fuel to your original gasoline only, that excess water can be taken up upon first use. Check you're fuel/water separator and see if it's full of water.

Post again if you get it diagnosed...I'd love to know what caused the problem and if indeed it was the ethanol.

Three-fourths of the Earth's surface is water, and one-fourth is land. It is quite clear that the good Lord intended us to spend triple the amount of time fishing as taking care of the lawn.
