You would be best off getting the manual and with its help: reconnecting anything that should be connected cleaning anything dirty or full of insects etc check continuity of all wires individually and replace any that are faulty check spark plugs check air inlets move all mechanical parts ...

Also, it could start cold but not warm due to the temp of the air being brought into the cylinder. When an ...
