If I let it sit for a couple hours it will run beautifully again. Its done this several times. Ive changed the plugs, filters, cant see anything wrong. does anyone have any ideas what would be wrong?
try having your carb rebuilt. I had an older carburated car(not a honda) with the same problem and that fixed it.
