Run some fuel injector cleaner through it and see if that helps. Two months is a long time for any machine to sit idle. All sorts of stuff can happen.

    Did you put fuel stabilizer in? Do you live in a damp climate? Carbon tracked spark plug insulators are a possibility, but 2 months of sitting idle with what passes for gasoline these days may be the culprit...Just one more random thought...I've seen mouse damage over the years to hoses and wiring that you would have to see to believe...they will chew on anything.
