QuestionThanks for your quick reply!.
Here are the details that you had asked for.
Lawn Mover: TRoy Bilt
Model No: 12AV839N711
Engine: Briggs & Straton
Model - 127602
Type - 0370-E1
Code - 040927F(0/D)
The last letter in the Code above is either 0 or D. I couldn't figure it out as it was very dusty.
I need help in getting my engine cleaned up and started. Like you said earlier, I guessed it was the carburetor that has gone bad as this component was the closest to the Air Filter which had too much dust/grass particles.
So how do I go about cleaning up the carburetor and what tools do I need and do I need to do any other cleanup/tuneup needed apart form this.
Appreciate your help

Question -
I have a troy bilt lawnmover with briggs and straron engine. THe engine starts after priming the buld 3-4 times but it stops after a few secs. I replaced the air filter which was very dusty. I never replaced of cleaned the air filter ever since I bought it a year ago. I didn't know these things have air filters and fuel filters.
I am wondering else needs to be cleaned. How do I locate the carburetor and what needs to be done to clean it. This mover doesn't seem to have an oil filter because I couldn't find any other replacement part other than the air filte at the lowes.
Why would it start after priming and then stop after a few secs?
