Humm, lots of possibilities there (e.g. fuel gone bad, rodent damage to
wires, something amiss in the engine build, etc).
It sounds like it starts and runs, so that's good.
You might walk through the workshop steps for engine timing and carb setup,
just to ensure the basics are correct. It's tedious but likely to reveal
something.
