Small Engines (Lawn Mowers, etc.): Honda lawn mower, honda lawn, air compressor

Question
Hi My honda harmaney has been sitting for 4 months. When I start it runs good for about 45sec then dies. I drained the tank and the bowl. then fresh gas, same problem. Do you think spark or fuel. if fuel could it be the main jet partialy plug?

Answer
Most likely the main jet is plugged but I have seen some bad spark plugs.

Do you have an air compressor?  If so, you can remove, dis-assemble and clean the carb using compressed air and carb cleaner to blow out the carb orfices.

Let me know is this helps.
