... pulled the plug, it looked fine, cleaned it anyway, and tried again. Zilch, not even a sputter. Not a fuel problem, you can spray carb cleaner in and no change. Maybe a dead plug or pickup or something. Can't take it back because the dealer is in Washington state and I am in Arizona.
Dropped it off today for a guy to look at. He is the local small engine "Yoda": lives in a cave among piles on engine parts. He'll sort it out so I can fill up the W-500 with tree trimmings.
Thanks to all, will report what the trouble was when I know.
