    Lawn Mower Problems
    I Have a Briggs & Stratton 14.5 OHV on my riding mower. I was mowing my lawn and my mower started to die. I moved the throttle around and it kept running. A few minutes later it dies. I look over everything and it looked normal. I tried to start it again and it fired back up. 30 seconds later it dies again, but this time it will not restart. I let the mover sit for about 30 minutes and try to restart it. It fired up and ran for about 5 minutes then dies again. I poured fuel down the carb and it fires back up until the gas is gone. I checked the fuel line & fuel filter. Both were good. I took the carb apart, and all the jets were clear. I even changed the fuel, and changed the plug. If I leave it sit for a while it will run for about 5 minutes then die. It will start on the lowest throttle setting briefly, then die. Can anyone give me any suggestion on how to fix it? Thanks in advance.

    Check you needle, seat and float for proper operation, and cleanliness.
