    Briggs and Stratham cutting out
    I have a push mower with a briggs and stratham motor, its not starting at all, but getting spark, so the sparkplug is OK, I tried emptying the fuel and using fresh fuel just in case there was too much water in the fuel tank, but that didn't help either, Finally, I have some carburator spray I used which after using, will start up easily, idle for 3-4 seconds then cut out again and I will not be able to restart- , I read somewhere on these forums that replacing the air filter a lot of times will fix the problem, however, I've ran it without the filter on when I was using the spray and it still didn't idle for more than 3 seconds, any ideas? I'm getting really discouraged

    -Thanks for the help- Rob

    You need to inspect and clean the carb. Just because you have spark, doesn't mean it is at the correct time. Did it backfire any?
