same exact issue I have. all fuses and fuel pump are good. Mine almost starts the first time you tried it after long wait. Smoke a little too at times which means it sparks. I checked my oil and it was full of gas after trying it for a long time. So I changed the oil and filter. Same issue still no start. Sometimes it does kinda run after long wait without cranking but thats like 1 sec and back to cranking again. I tried almost everything. Any luck with yours?
