I will check all again. It's just odd that one day it works great. The next day it starts up fine (manual choke) and then fails with a load. I checked the smoke/exhaust when this was occurring and did not see anything out of the ordinary. The water coming out of the exhaust did not seem to have any excess 'rainbowing' from unburned fuel, but then again, I've been wrong before.
