4.0 HP Briggs and Stratton on Craftsman lawnmower

[krossy]

The mower starts fine and runs fine for about 30 seconds. Then the governer will choke the mower and it will die. I can start it again, and it does the same thing. The carburator is clean and the gas is new. Can anyone help ??

It could be that the carburettor is set wrongly, and flooding the engine (that's what it sounds like to me).

Does it puff out any smoke on start up or when dying ?

Clean out the carberator and fuel tank, then install a new spark plug....Good Luck!
