Briggs Toro mower won't stay running MOWER BRAHS GTFIH

[iWinYouLose]

So I just put in a new air filter, ngk spark plug, and fresh gas into my mower and it starts up but won't stay running.

I just used it the other day and now it won't stay running.

I have changed everything it needs to run smoothly and it starts up and sounds great but then dies.

Any ideas on what this could be?

I thought the fuel line might be gummed up but I always put 93 in it and I used fuel treatment to no avail.

You should get a Roomba type thing for your yard.

Only thing I could think of is that you're somehow using a fuel the engine very briefly likes and then doesn't.

When you used it the other day, did it run just fine the whole time?
When it runs now, how long until it dies?

Sounds like glowplugs.

Many have a filter in the line to keep any dirt that gets in the tank from getting in the carburetor. If yours does and the jet plugged, the gasket in the carburetor is likely starting to disintegrate. Alcohol in the gas will do that.
