Small Engines (Lawn Mowers, etc.): 11HP Briggs dies after 10min 1984 Model, check fuel, fuel flow


Question
My Briggs 11hp engine starts fine runs for about 10-15min then dies. doesn't restart. I wait about 15min and it restarts and runs for 5min and does it all over again. What could it be.

Answer
Check your fuel flow.
Is there fuel in the carb immediatley have the engine dies/
If not then you have a fuel delivery issue.
Check fuel filter,fuel lines etc.
Does this engine have points or is electronic?
If points then your points could be going bad.
Points will get hot open up and this will kill the engine, once they cool down and close then the engine will start right up.
Let me know what you find out and we will go from there.
If you would please rate my answer. Thanks
