Is the gas reasonably fresh? There were a few reports earlier this year on engines being started, running OK for a period of time and then not being able to start them again. Apparently problem was traced to something in old deteriorated gas and valves reacting to it. Some reported valves sticking to the point of almost being glued in the guides. Perhaps you have a mild case.
