B&S 450 (carburetor 285286) starts but dies after a while. I changed the gasoline to fresh, changed the spark plug and the air filter. I cleaned the carburetor. Everything is the same. If you spray carburetor cleaner into the air intake, it works fine, but without it, it dies after a while. What i shoul do more? Thanks in advance.

If it runs for a period and then dies and I don't mean a couple seconds of running and dying. More like 20+ seconds I would suspect a fuel flow restriction into the carb/fuel bowl. Basically fuel in doesn't equal fuel out.

Recheck fuel, recheck fuel fuel, clean carburetor again. It should fire right up, and keep running strong if fuel delivery is correct.
