THE REAL ANSWER FROM A PERSON THAT OWNS 2. I bought one that was new but I bought it from original owner he couldnt start it or when it did it would die, I took the cap apart , there was no fuel flow in on or off position but flow in the middle of them. When I remove and disassembled the cap, many pieces and holes, anyways once reassembled it works great, guess it was something wrong in the assembly at the factory or something stuck, looked all clean without any debris
Clean or replace cap
SOURCE: the washer will run about 2 min. then die. i have
It is possible that the oil pressure switch is not functioning properly or you have a lighter oil in the machine than is recommended.
Post a comment if you need more assistance.
SOURCE: wont run for long
Without know the model number, I couldn't say. You could go to.. http://www.partstree.com/parts/ click on Husqvarna, then enter the model number on the left. That will bring up the diagram for it. It may have a duckbill valve inside the cap or an external vent elsewhere.

It may have a gravity float residing in the carberator which may be cracked and will show same symptoms.If not garvity float, check for loose connection, heat and vibration my cause it to die, it cools and then restarts.
SOURCE: won't run much raster than idle speed
Since there is no background to this, I assume at some point in time, the motor ran ok for you...
The first thing to do is to drain one of your carburators into a glass jar to check for water. If there is water, you will see it separate from the fuel in a couple of minutes. The water is on the bottom. If there is water, you will need to flush the motor with good fuel, one carburator at a time and probably will have to pump your tank.
If there is no water, the easiest thing to try is the following...when the motor starts to bog down, activate the choke. (If you have a side mount box that activates the choke when the fast idle lever is all the way up), you will have to have someone go back to the engine and manually pull the choke lever out. If the motor picks up, the motor is most likely in need of a carb job.
You can then do a cylinder drop test while motor is idleing, momentarily pulling the spark plug wires off of the spark plugs one at a time. If you pull one off and the engine speed does not change, listen for spark at the spark plug connector to the engine. If you hear the clicking of spark spark is probably ok. The issue with that cylinder is probably fuel related...probably a clogged carburator. If one carb is not functioning correctly, they all probably need some work. If you are not into mechanical stuff, you should have a dealer do the work. After the carbs are cleaned, they need to be adjusted for proper idle and idle/air mixture as well as vacuum balanced . If you are going to attempt it yourself be sure to by a manual either from Honda or one after market.
Before the carb job, a good dealer will always do at least a compression and spark check to be sure there is not an internal issue. The spark plugs should be checked at this time and changed out if they look questionable. Only use NGK DR7EA spark plugs not a substitute.
Also, check your oil and be sure it is clean and at the proper level.
There are several other things that it can be, but this is the most common.
