I'll have to keep reminding myself that you have two different carts.

We can eliminate spark. Now we see if it's a fuel problem.

I wonder if the spark plug is wet, or dry when acting up.
A wet plug could mean ripped diaphragm in the fuel pump. It would still pump good.

A dry plug would indicate fuel not being able to escape from the carburetor. That would mean a good cleaning is in order.
Being inconsistent makes it tough. Maybe a piece of dirt is floating around in there.

Since it doesn't happen every time, I would try some Seafoam first.

EDIT: You might want to do a compression test too.

One more thought. Since the 3pg has the spark plug on top, I don't think it would flood the plug as obviously as it does on a 2 pg.
