Briggs and Stratton 375 Sprint mower engine - carburettor blocked?

While the engine will start, it cuts out when the priming fuel is used up after about 3-5 seconds.

The manual says the carburettor cannot be adjusted, but I think the main jet is blocked. How do I unblock it? The manual is no use.

BTW, it is an oldish Sprint, Model 9x900 where x is B, C, D or 8.

On the identification panel it says it is a TBS158U1G1RA:EM but thus model does not appear on the B&S website

I have just been given a mower with the same problem. The fuel tank is the bottom half of the carburretor. The air filter had disintergrated and made its way into the carby and fuel tank. A complete clean with carby cleaner and blow out with an air gun did the job. ( blow air through the main jet after squirting with carby cleaner ) Mower now runs fine.

Had the same problem with my mower, removed and cleaned carb from fuel tank, replaced gasket, between carby and fuel tank, no problems since.
