lawn mower starts but stops after a few seconds?

After priming, my mower would start, run for five seconds and quit. After checking fuel, air filter, oil I decided it must be a clogged fuel line. So I restarted using the primer and every four seconds or so I hit the primer to keep it running.
After about a minute of this the mower kept running without using the primer.

If this sounds like your problem and symptoms give it a try.

Your carberator is having trouble getting fuel so you`ve got a problem with either the fuel line or carb is dirty and needs to be rebuilt ....
