T have a Craftsman Model: 917.377151 6 HP walk behind mower. I have had a problem with it starting but shutting down after a He put two gaskets on there at that time and it started and ran fine for a couple of years. This year it started the same problem again so I have replaced the gaskets. It worked fine for a few times mowing. It is once again shutting down a second or two after starting. I have to prime it with starting fluid now. The primer on the side of the carb does not seem to work. I am not finding any clogs in the fuel line. The bolts that hold the air cleaner on the carb for some reason seem to stripped as they will tighten but not all of the way. I just put new bolts on there today but still the same problem

Any help would be greatly appreciated

Thank you
