Someone gave me one in tbe fall and I tried cleaning out the carburator and it didn't help. I bought a new carburator made for that model on Ebay and it ran like new. Not sure if that's your issue, but that worked for me.
does it have a b2960 security code set, i bet it does, it probably has a security problem and is going into fuel shut off, try replacing the ignition switch harness, this is 98% of the time the problem
Could be any of several things. If the crank sensor is marginal and not sending pulses, the fuel pump is shut off. This is for safety. The pump is energized for a few seconds as key is turned in preparation for starting then engine must rotate normally to keep the pump on. If it stops, in a few seconds the fuel is cut off.
Sounds like you're loading up with fuel. I'd check the fuel pressure regulator. Some engines are set up with a regulator inside the intake plenum, which requires plenum removal.
I cleaned the carburator on mine. That did the trick. Make sure you remove the bowl from underneath and clean the bolt. The bolt has holes in it that may be clogged. Clear it with a small wire. I then sprayed the carburator down with starting fluid. You may use carburator cleaner on the carburator, but I didn't I just used a brush.
you could have water in gas,look in the gas tank for any bubbles floating on bottom of tank this is water empty gas from tank and remove carburetor bowl too remove water from it .
check electric fuel pump operation ( located in the fuel tank ). Occasionally a fuel pump will burn out when running out of fuel, due to the fact the pump runs DRY for about 30 seconds till the fuel stops flowing out of the injectors, the engine quits, simultainously losing oil pressure which FINALLY shuts off the fuel pump. Sometimes TOO LATE. Hope this helps
