Could be fuel pump, but if it ran fine after you got it going I doubt it!
My guess would be that the main jet in the carb froze.
If I was you I would have that carb off and give it a good service

    Make sure the kill switch is fully seated. Mine was barely in and the engine kept stalling out and finally wouldn't start. Looked at everthing and finally checked it and voila.
    Just a thought.

    I would try this first, If AIC is not working it will not idle !l if it will not idle it will not start. At least that is what mine did. hope that helps

    P.S. It is at 11:00 oclock on the throttle body as you are looking down on the motor, 1 four prong plug and 2 small bolts. about the size of a dime [around] and sticks out about 1 inch. Good luck!
