Hello Troy:

Sorry for the Delay. This Question was Located in the Question Pool and I can Only Answer Questions from the Question Pool when I am Not Answering Questions here or at the Other Site I Answer Questions at. This is a 1990 Wheel Horse Garden Tractor Model 31-12K801. Are you Sure the Gas is Free Flowing to the Fuel Pump? Is there Fuel in the Carburetor Bowl when the Engine Quits? Check the Cutoff Valve at the Tank and Ensure it is Open Fully and Not Restricting the Fuel Flow to the Pump. You can View a Breakdown/IPL of the Mower at this Site Addy, https://lookup3.toro.com/partdex/default.cfm and Select Start Parts Viewer. Now Enter the Model Numbers (31-12K801) and Click Search. Now Select View Assembly Drawings. If you Hit a Snag or this Does Not Correct the Problem,  I am Here if You Require More Assistance. Hope this Helps. Let me Know What Happens, Please. May the All Mighty Bless You and Yours. Thanks.

Good Luck

Respectfully

John
