A fuel filter or fuel inlet sock clogging occasionally with fine rust particles can do that.
Vapor lock can do something like that.

Ok, don´t know what was wrong, but this morning I opened the hood, grab a screwdriver and hit the carb two times, started the engine and everything was running fine!!

Yep, that sounds like dirt clogging something/affecting the carb. I'd replace fuel filters and do a carb rebuild.

Buena suerte,

Joe

jejejeje!!, es probable, lo bueno es que si todo sale como quiero no lo vuelvo a ver desde el Domingo o Lunes. La cosa es que ya sirve, creo que era algo del choke.

translation for all you gueros:

"maybe it was taking a siesta"

"haha, probably. the thing is, it works now, and if things go the way i want, i won't have to see the thing again after sunday or monday. but i think it was something with the choke."

working on cars is hard enough, doing it in a foreign language is just crazy. anyone ever opened up a part with the ingles instructions missing and had to scratch their head with the espanol?
