Next day I put a couple of gallons of fresh gas in and let it sit for a day. After a few tries it started up and I again revved it to about 2500 and kept it there for a minute of so, and it just died. It re-started easily enough but the same thing happened the second time. Suggestions have included new fuel and air filters, oxygen sensor, and possible water in the gas.
