    Briggs and stratton 14.5 OHV won't keep running
    Starts , runs for only a few seconds then stops
    When I take the spark plug out it's soaked in gas
    Is it flooding itself ?
    Does this mean the carb is stuck ?
    I don't know about carbs
    This one has a wire to the bottom of it (electronic ?)
    Any ideas how to correct would be appreciated

    Start simple try a new spark plug.
    And the wire means it has a electric fuel shutoff.
    Make sure you have good fresh fuel.
