Victa lawnmower with Honda GCV 160 motor runs then stops?

I have a Victa lawnmower with a Honda GCV 160 motor which runs fine for about 30 secs then coughs and stops. Wait 5 mins, then it starts and stops again after about same time. New fuel being used - air cleaner OK.

I can now answer my own question.
After overhauling the carbie 3 times, as I had been assured that this would be the problem, a new spark plug fixed the problem.

thry checking to see if the choke is sticking on
