mine started doing the same thing, I looked at cap etc. and finally found that the fuel line coming off the bottom of the tank had swollen and was not letting any gas through. It was running fine one day, then would start only with the choke out, and run for a bit then die, then finally it wold not start, and it was the fuel line swollen shut inside. As Materman said, start with fuel line off that goes to the carb and work back to the tank.
