As it turns out, I am down to about a 1/8-1/4 tank (I rarely let it get that low given the inaccuracy of the fuel level gauge) and I think it just sucked up a bit of crap from the bottom of the tank which temporarily fouled the carb. Ran great this AM, which isn't surprising given it ran fine at the end of my drive home on Thurs. So I guess all is good for now. Thanks for the suggestions!

I may put some Seafoam in when I refill for good measure.
