    if you've been working on it retrace your steps, you may have pulled a wire off something and forgotten about it. If you were doing something simple I can't see it being fuel or compression, its more than likely spark check that and report back lol

    I've only been doing body work..

    Its strange because it will start first time it turns over but if it stops then it wont start again till the next day or hours later?
