Small Engines (Lawn Mowers, etc.): Exmark 48 mower Kawi engine, hole locations, fuel lines

Question
My 48 exmark is cutting out all of the sudden I replaced the fuel lines and filter from the tank to the fuel pump. Ran better for a few days now it shuts off after 30-45 seconds unless I put the choke on about half way? I believe the carb needs a cleaning or a rebuild? What do u think??

Answer
I would start with the carb but would also check and/or replace the spark plug(s).

Have you ever rebuilt or cleaned a carb?  You Tube has lots of videos that will guide you through the process.  I would recommend taking several pictures as you remove and dis-assemble.  Those carburetor linkages can be tricky if you forget how to connect them.  Mark any connecting hole locations and along with the pictures you should be able to clean the carb.
