Is it cold where you are at? You mention that it is getting gas and spark and tries hard to start, so I�m presuming that it is firing, but won�t keep running. I have had it where the control rod between the governor and the butterfly in the carburetor will get frost or condensation in it and stick with the butterfly in the idle condition. Applying some heat to the tube where this rod is in will usually break it loose. I don�t recommend shutting it off and then opening the throttle as a cure for this as then the engine will rev up. My thought is that not starting is the better option of the two.

Hope this helps.
