    If it just runs for 20 seconds, does it restart? Could be dirt in needle valve if carbureted, stuck fuel float, restricted fuel line.

    You had it serviced last year, and should have serviced it again this year before you tried to start it up, or changing parts. Especially if it's been idle for an extended period.
