Greetings. I have a Craftsman mower with the B&S 159cc engine, with autochoke - (Model 5X65RU) and, whilst the engine starts first pull when it's cold, It dies after 30-60 seconds and won't restart. I have replaced the air and fuel filters and cleaned the carbon cannister filter. Since, when it is running, it runs well, I wonder if the issue is with the autochoke, rather than the carb. Can anyone a) tell me what the problem(s) is(are) and 2) what the solution(s) are, please?
Thank you,
Steve
