Howdy folks. I have a Craftsman Lawmower with a Tecumseh ( Model 143.966004). Early in the year I started it and it ran fine, I cut the grass and everything worked. Now I start it and it runs for 3 seconds and dies. I've drained the fuel tank and put fresh fuel in, i've pulled the carb off and cleaned it with carb cleaner.. I don't know what else to try. Any Ideas?

Thanks
Darryl
