It could have something to do with it. Adjust your carb and see if that helps.

Sounds like a bad battery. Do not push the gas anymore you might haqve flooded it and before the motor can turn the right rpm's to start, your battery is crapping out.

Get some jumpers and try to start it. But do not push the gas, you are gonna flood it.
