Hi!

First of all let me say if anyone can solve this my neighbors will be sooo thankful as well as myself since my grass is now almost a foot tall since I have been working on this mower for almost a week.

Basically I can prime the carb or put gas in the carb and the mower will run for a sec until the gas runs out. I tried a carb gasket kit and replaced the spring and put the diaphragm on the on the fuel tank and then the gasket and put it back together. Same issue, so then I removed it again and removed the jet and blew through it and reinstalled and same issue again.

Any ideas on what I am missing?
Thanks!
Walt

Does anyone have any suggestions or know how much a replacement carb is and where to get one?
Thanks,

I'm in the same boat, or rather lawn mower problem! Maybe it was some
sort of solar flare....

According the B&S website, they reccomend cleaning/checking the fuel
system. The thing I did was put in a higher octane fuel to try to mix
the bad with the great for an OK mix....didn't help much

From there I'm at a standstill. Not sure how to even check the fuel
system. Mine is on a Murray 6.0hp walk behind. I don't have the
engine#, still trying to find it.

Any suggestions how how to check/clean the fuel system?

I'm not familiar with this carb but 9 times out of 10 there is something plugged. Are there any tiny venturi holes? If so us a small bread tie wire and poke it through. Use compressed air and carb cleaner through every hole.

Thanks Mopar! It must have one of the three holes(two on the bottom) and one brass in the chamber, I pushed a little paper clip in each and after putting it back on it is running better than ever!

Thanks again,
Walt

Well, got the mower working again. I pulled the fuel line off the tank
and drained the fuel tank, then kept priming and starting until the whole
system was clear of all the fuel. Bought a new gas can with fresh gas
(The old one had a small hole, so I needed a new one anyway), once I
was able to get the gas primed through, it ran, a little hard, but I tweek
the choke after I get the lawn cut (it's been a few weeks). Put on a new
air filter as well, but that was after it started running, so I know it wasn't
the air filter, as well, it still kept konking out even with no air filter.
