Hi guys I am new to here and hope you all can help. I have a craftsman 18 hp 42" cut that I bought second hand 2 years ago. This year when I took it out to mow I kept having to baby the throttle/choke to keep it running for about the first 10 minutes, after which it would run fine. Then one day it just sounded like it choked out and died. Since then I have put in a new carburetor, spark plug, fuel filter, fuel line and run PB blaster mower tune up though it. If I let it sit for a while when I try to start it it fires once then dies, same thing if I put starter fluid in the carburetor. It acts like it is not getting fuel but the float container has fuel in it. Any ideas?
