The Engine is a Tecumseh TVS115(56600). The problem is that the engine will start when I prime it but will only run for about 3 seconds and then stop. Prime again, run 3 secs, stop. Etc.
It has fresh gas. I just checked the spark plug and gap, changed the oil and air filter. It was running well, although sometimes its RPMs would go in waves.
It has a float type carburetor. I removed the float bowl to make sure there wasn't "gunk" in there. Everything looks good.
Obviously it has something to do w/ the fuel intake after it gets to the float bowl so that's where I will start first.
I have a Technicians manual, so I'm not w/o hope but I'd rather have some input before ripping everything apart.
Thanks
