Small Engines (Lawn Mowers, etc.): Troy-Bilt230 B-S engine, engine fires, series numbers

Question
Engine fires and starts, then immediately dies -- not getting gas - is there fuel pump on this engine?  Other suggestions?  Thanks.

Answer
Hello Will:

The Numbers you Sent me are the Series Numbers. I Require the Model Numbers. However, Is there Gas at the Carburetor Inlet Port? Does this Engine have the Fuel Shut Off Solenoid in the Carburetor Bowl? The Problem can be the Fuel Pump (if it has One), the Fuel Shut Off Solenoid (if it has one) or the Carburetor Needs to be Soaked and Cleaned. The Model Numbers Off the Mower will Help me Help you. Thanks.
