Lawnmower Fires then Dies
All,
Patient is a 2 month old Craftsman with a 4.5 HP Briggs and Straton motor. Gas is fresh, oil is up to full mark. Mower has been working OK. Last used about 1.5 weeks ago. The mower will fire briefly if the primer dome is pushed. Then it dies after using the gas supplied by the primer push. I have tried taking the air filter off and have tried loosening the gas cap (one thing at a time) with no change in results. Seems as though it is not pulling gas after the initial firing. This is a new mower with only one run speed. The carb seems bone simple. Any ideas where to start? Douglas |
