Just brought it back from the dealership on a non-engine related issue. Ran fine onto the flatbed and home. Drove it off the trailer and set the idle/ brake on it to move something in the way to park it and it quit. Engine turns over. I put fuel in the carb under the air filter and the engine started then stopped after a few seconds. Theres fuel in the filter. What are the next steps you good people would take?

Welcome to LMF from another Kansan, what part are you in?....

Is there a wire at the base of the carb??? check if it is unplugged...
or if there is a fuel shut off, that was not turned on... :smile:KennyV

Thanks, where would I check for the fuel shutoff?

At the tank or in the fuel line... It may or may not have one... :smile:KennyV

I'll follow the line, hey thanks KennyV!

If those are looking good what would anyone request to do next?

Since it will start & run when you put fuel directly into the carb..
It has to be a fuel delivery problem... The fuel shut off valve under the carb bowl OR the float inside the bowl...
:smile:KennyV

That would make sense. How can I check the bowl? Sorry for sounding so stupid.

With that error I can see it is time for me to go back outside and burn a little diesel, it is now warm enough to get back to mowing...
