I have a craftsman 5.5 mower and it will not keep running. I have changed the spark plug, taken the carb. Off and cleaned it making sure all ports are clear, changed the gas, etc. If I poor gas in the cylinder it will start but will not keep running. There is only one adjustment on the carb. And I have tried everything. Can you help?


I have cleaned the filter, checked the flow of gas, cleaned the gas cap, etc. I have done just about everything I can think of and it still won't start. I do get spark and it will start if I poor gas in the cylinder but just stays running for a few seconds. Can you think of anything else?

Thanks

Clean the carb again.
