My walk-behind craftsman mower (Briggs and Stratton) will turn over and start, and if I hold the choke open it will stay started, but it will not stay running on its own. Took off carborator and fuel bowl, all looks fine. Appears to be getting fuel to the carborator. Any ideas?

Try giving the needle and seat a look as well. If the needle is anything but straight and smooth, replace both.
