    Starts and Runs only for 2 min
    Hi I have a Craftsman 15.5 42" and it starts like new and only runs for about 2 min or so and it is like you turned the key off. Any ideas.

    When it dies can you still confirm spark? How long must you wait before it will restart or does it start immediately if you try after it dies?
