I took apart the carb and cleaned everything possible, but its still running terrible all of a sudden. I adjusted the carb too. It will run for a second, but you have to choke it to keep it running like its running out of fuel. Maybe a rebuild kit for carb may be the answer. Any ideas I havent thought of out there?

Tell us the make of carb and number, or tell us the engine that its on (like make/model number) I think its a B&S

Its a briggs 12 hp i/c

Yes I would clean the carb again, look at the main jet, but can you tell me the make of carb that you have fitted.

is this that type of carb you have fitted on that engine.

Yes that is the carb that is on it. Thanks

OK make sure that item 147 (nozzle) in photo and photo below is clean, and when I say clean I mean very clean, also make sure that item 104/133 are working and set right, turn on the fuel before putting the float bowl back on to make sure you have fuel coming into carb, turn in set screw but don't over do it, then out by one and a half turn's, and if you have taken it off from the engine, make sure gasket(s)/seal is in good condition.

Thanks for your help I will give it a try
