[QUOTE="NightShade, post: 3308657, member: 29706"] A lot of videos are out there on Youtube to walk through doing stuff. The carbs on the mowers are super simple and other than the float not shutting the fuel off or a jet being clogged there isn't a ton to do. [URL]https://www.youtube.com/user/mustie1/videos[/URL] does a TON of repair stuff on small engines. He almost always goes through the carbs. If it runs and then dies my best guess is a stuck float and it's leaking a little fuel past at times and then uses that up and dies. My guess is five or ten minutes later it will start up again and run for a bit. Pull the carb, take off the bowl and see if the float is freely moving. It my be binding on the pin or the needle may be getting stuck. The tab that the float has may also be at the wrong angle not allowing enough fuel in. Gas cap could be holding a vacuum and may even be a bad line. [/QUOTE]
