I have a 5hp B&S engine with horizontal shaft - maybe 10 years
old. Single cylinder, rope starter, Gas tank is below the carb -
gas gets to the carb by a metal tube extending from the bottom
of the carb down into the tank. The carb fastens to the top of
the tank. Engne starts easily - runs smooth for 30 to 45 seconds and dies.
the last 5 seconds you can tell it's gas starved. It will NOT
immediately restart. let it sit 10 minutes, and it'll start OK, and
run for 40 seconds. i can repeat this as many times as i want to. I removed the carb, blew out the passages, installed a new
rubber diaphram. No change in operation. is there something in the gas pickup tube that is maybe faulty
that is getting sucked up and closing off the gas intake? I rinsed
out the tank and I don't think I have amything loose in the tank
which is covering the inlet. I'll listen to all answers and theories. thanks.
