Anyone an expert in the field?

I have a 2t hedge cutter, it has been fine for ages, but today it kept cutting out and was difficult to restart. Did this a couple of times, then a third time it wouldn't restart at all, took plug out and cleaned it, cleaned fuel lines, still wouldn't start, so I took the top off, and checked all electrical connections,coiuldn't find fault, re assembled, and tried to start it, eventually it did after a few tugs, then I switched it off, pulled the cord, and it started first time, finished off the hedge, and put it away.Can't be a case of overheating cut out, as the machine is air cooled, anyone got any clues?
