I have a Yard Machines by MTD lawn mower. I pump the primer 5 times, and it starts every time, but just as the engine is reaching normal rpms, the engine dies. It only runs for 1-2 seconds then dies.
I changed the air filter and put a new plug in it, and it still has the same problem.
I changed the gas and oil. Then I took off the carb and cleaned it with carb cleaner and blew it all out with the compressor. It still has the same problem.
It doesn't sound like the engine is missing.
Any ideas? I've spent a couple days after work now trying to fix this, and I'm at the end of my understanding.
Thanks!
