Seems at times it wants to turn, just can't.

Hook up an external fuel source with known good fuel, may have to clean the crap out of the carb bowls too...

If you have a spinoff type fuel filter, remove it and pour the contents into a clear 16oz bottle. If there is separation, it will occur in minutes. What separates to the bottom is not water, but alcohol. The engine will not run on it. If that is the problem, change fuel stations or gerry can it. If you do not have a external filter, disconnect the fuel line and squeeze the priming bulb into the bottle.
