Mend Lawnflygt Mower Starts Minutes

Honda powered lawn mower?

My lawnflygt mower starts easily but after a few minutes of cutting it stops.After another minute or so it can be started and again runs perfectly for another short period.Suspecting a fuel starvation I removed the in line fuel filter and cleaned it but the symptoms persist.Should I take the fuel filter out of the pipe?The problem first occurred last year when I had to cut long wet grass and had to continually turn the machine on its side to clear the blockage.

I suggest the vent hole in the fuel cap is blocked, allowing a vacuum to foem in the tank. Test - remove cap and start engine. If it runs more than 5 mins, problem solved.

It may be the plug has oil up, take it out and clean it, if its the same after that take carburetor off and give it a good clean out, look at the float needle at the fuel inlet..!
