all signs point to bad gas..probably water in the gas. buy a bottle of heat and put it in the tank should fix the problem.

"Heat" is fuel additive that you put into the gas tank. If there is water in the tank, it allows it to mix with the gas and be burned. They sell it in the cold climates to keep fuel lines from freezing. It also goes by the name gas antifreeze.
