    Riding mower starts but shuts off
    My riding mower starts but shuts off within 5-10 seconds. I have a simplicity regent 12 1/2 hp riding mower. I already drained fuel (added fresh fuel), change spark plug, fuel filter, checked fuel lines and cleaned the carburetor reservoir. There was some gel in the carb reservoir. I guess my next step would be to clean out the carb? Any other ideas would be helpful! Thanks!
