B&S working problem

B&S 450 (carburetor 285286) starts but dies after a while. I changed the gasoline to fresh, changed the spark plug and the air filter. I cleaned the carburetor. Everything is the same. If you spray carburetor cleaner into the air intake, it works fine, but without it, it dies after a while. What i shoul do more? Thanks in advance.

If it runs for a period and then dies and I don't mean a couple seconds of running and dying. More like 20+ seconds I would suspect a fuel flow restriction into the carb/fuel bowl. Basically fuel in doesn't equal fuel out.

Should I close in carburetor the remote primer inlet which is not in use but still open?

How long does it run before it dies?

A few seconds.
Recheck fuel, recheck fuel fuel, clean carburetor again. It should fire right up, and keep running strong if fuel delivery is correct.
