My YM1600 ran great for a few hours yesterday, but today it has no power and it has a rough sound on it. It didn't overheat and I already went through the fuel system. There's no water in the fuel. Any ideas on what might be causing this?
 
Double check the air filter and spark plugs. Sometimes a clogged filter or fouled plug can cause those symptoms. also, make sure the carburetor isnt gummed up or the ignition timing hasn’t shifted
 
Its also worth checking the injectors and glow plugs, a faulty injector can cause rough running and power loss. A compression test could help narrow it down.
 
I know the others don't want to say it, so I will. Could be a compression problem, so doing a compression test could be a wise step. I know this usually means an engine teardown, so maybe check the other stuff and if it's not one of those consider this.
