    Briggs & Stratton dies in few seconds
    I've got mower with Briggs & Stratton 5.0 hp engine Throttle free design model 11A602 type 0125E1.
    I prime and start my engine. It runs for few seconds and then it dies. I can keep it running only by continuous priming. Is it any other way I can keep it running?

    Hi Crigby,
    You are the Man!!
    Because of your hint I was able to fix the mower, cut the grass and avoided heavy punishment from the hands of my wife :)
    Many Many Many Thanks!

    Hi,

    I have a B&S motor acting the same way, what was the part that you were saying to check the hole in?

    My motor will only run if it's primed, then it stalls in a couple of seconds.

    Thanks
