I have a 20hp Briggs and Stratton that I got used frome someone and am having trouble keeping it running. It starts and runs as long as I keep pouring gas in the carb but once I stop it dies out within 3-5 seconds. What can I check or replace?
Check the filter in the gas tank. I had the same problem awhile back. It had picked up some sediment and wouldn't allow the machine to run. Ya gotta remove the gas tank to get to it. I cleaned mine out and never had anymore problems.
Thanks guys, I will do some more tinkering tomorrow. Especially thanks to Ron for the call. I am pretty sure that will take care of it. ( I never hooked it to a battery, just pull started)
