Hi all, I have a 21 hp briggs , it will start but only idles low for a minute than shuts off, I replaced the carburetor and spark plug. I can't figure out what's wrong with it, any help is appreciated. Thanks

Post all information from engine: model xxxxxx, type xxxx, trim xx, code xxxxxxxx, thanks Mark
keep your old carburetor. post model & serial #'s from under seat.
Use OEM B&S Parts.
SEPW is a reputable business as are others, purchasing cheap knockoff parts will not work. Recheck model number under seat, not listed at website: Sears Parts Direct, thanks Mark
