Give a couple slow pulls, then a good strong pull...
(The unit should burp, run for a second)
Next put the choke lever in the half choke position
Pull rope
It should start and run, now put the choke lever all the way in the off position and let unit warm up a minute... if when you turn choke off it stalls out, u didn't warm it up enough...
If the engine is warm and you shut it down, leave the choke off, lower the revs and start it. (when the choke is wide open you are using the fresh air coming in to dry the spark plugs and prevent flooding). If the motor is already flooded use that procedure to dry the plugs, then go back to full choke until it tries to start and quits again, then use half choke and pull one more time... works all the time.
Start with the choke on full press the fuel siphon button till the lines are full of fuel. pull handle until it tries to start but stops. move the choke to half then start again. let it run for 60 seconds on full. don't move the choke to full or it will stop. Either slow the revs and then put the choke on full or keep the revs high and slowly move the choke to full (to allow the governor to slowly advance with the new revs)
Try running some fuel system cleaner through it. A good choice is Chem Tools Berryman B-12. There are some hardworking solvents in the product that could help you overcome a dirty carburetor. Initially use a good, strong dose. Maybe double what they recommend . (1 oz/gallon). If this doesn't work, the carb will probably need to be removed and inspected and cleaned.
i would start at the muffler & pull it off ,,ck out the exhaust port where u just took the muffler off,,see if it is loaded up with carbon,,need to clean it out,,i find then in the trash,,& take them apart,,and most of the time its just that,,because u are using a gas & oil mix,,try it ,, hoped it helped,,
You need to play with the timing adjustment, either on the spark plug, or the gap between the contact and the magneto. That'll do it ;) Don't forget to rate, thanks
But sounds like the carbourator is dirty, Probably fouled with old gas varnish. When it is idling give it a little throttle, flip the choke on and then full throttle. If it goes full throttle and doesn't conk out, it is a fuel issue.
To me this sounds like its getting too much fuel after it has been warmed up so either there is too much gas flow to the unit or there is not enough. check your primer bulb once this happens if there is a full bulb when it shuts down chances are its getting too much gas, if its empty then its not getting enough and your fuel filter could be starting to plug up or is not in the tank properly.
