Mend Lawnmower Engine Starting

my mower runs when I spray starting fluid in but when i shut it off it won'?

my mower runs when I spray starting fluid in but when i shut it off it won't start unless i spray starter fluid in it again. Why won't it start after running for 10 minutes on gas alone, no starter fluid?

Three possibilitys that you have a clogged fuel filter, a dirty fuel tank or dirty carburator. You could also check to make sure you dont have a hole or cut in you fuel line.
