Hi,
I have a 2008 Toro 22in Recycler Mower. I recently had it in for maint and had a new air cleaner put in. I've used it twice since then. It worked great the first two times but when I tried using it yesterday it would start but then run run for a couple of seconds and then stop, almost like it's not getting gas. There's plenty of gas, etc... Someone had mentioned the air cleaner might be clogged up but I've only used it twice since the new one was put it.
Remove the air cleaner and see if it runs... if so, then it may well be that air filter. (but I doubt it, as I think that Briggs uses a large air filter)...
Will it run with full or partial choke? Is there a primer bulb on the carb? If so will it continue running while stroking it?
It does sound fuel related, are you sure it has good fuel in the tank? Is there an in line fuel filter?

Have you checked the spark plugs, also have a look in the tank if you can and see that there is no gunk in the bottom of the tank that could be being sucked into the fuel lines.
It worked like a charm. The mower in question got a trail by fire (long thick slightly damp grasss) and performed up to spec. It's so nice when something actually pans out!
