I've got mower with Briggs & Stratton 5.0 hp engine Throttle free design model 11A602 type 0125E1.
I prime and start my engine. It runs for few seconds and then it dies. I can keep it running only by continuous priming. Is it any other way I can keep it running?

Hi,
Attached is the IPL for you engine and would check the hole on item# 117 on page 4. See:
Manuals, Parts List & Wiring Diagrams - Briggs & Stratton (http://www.briggsandstratton.com/maint_repair/manual_and_more/docsearch.aspx?enginelookfor=11A602-0125-E1)
Peace,

Hi Crigby,
You are the Man!!
Because of your hint I was able to fix the mower, cut the grass and avoided heavy punishment from the hands of my wife :)
Many Many Many Thanks!

Hi,

I have a B&S motor acting the same way, what was the part that you were saying to check the hole in?

My motor will only run if it's primed, then it stalls in a couple of seconds.

Thanks
