I have a Yard Machine lawn mower by MTD, 5 HP 21 inch. When I start it up, it immediately dies. It has good gas, oil is at full, good spark. Any Idea's what might be wrong? It ran great last week.

Hi,
It is fuel related. Gas in tank may be good, but something is happening in the carb. Could be water in the bottom of the bowl or trash in the jet.
Peace,
