Mend Briggs & Stratton 5hp Start

How do I keep my lawnmower running?

I have a murray lawnmower with a 5hp briggs & stratton engine..I squirt some quick start gas into the carburator and the engine will run for about 2 seconds...otherwise the engine will not keep running...I have taken the carburator off and cleaned it as good as possible...

If there is a diaphragm between tank and carb repllace it and try again. May need a carb if this does not work

If its a newer mower(5 years or so)you will probably have to buy a new carb.most newer mowers like that have "throw away carbs"when they start messing up all you can do is throw it away and get a new one.
