Ihave a 22HP B&S V twin that won't stay running. I have cleaned the carb installed new fuel pump and fresh gas, checked the magnetic shut off in the carb hooked the test light to thehot wire going to the shut off and it never goes out when the engine dies. When i start it it has to be on full choke and while it runs witch is about 15 sec. it will start right back up with the same procedure with choke out. I still belive it is not getting fuel but I know the fuel pump is working and the shutoff is working. also bench tested shuttoff and it worked.
Anyone that has had this problem and fixed it I would appreciate some info.

I would start by replacing the float needle and seat. It may be sticking, not allowing enough fuel to enter the float bowl.
