Small Engines (Lawn Mowers, etc.): lawn mower engine, model numbers, lawn mower engine

Question
My lawn mower has a briggs & strton 158cc engine. I have used it 4 times. It starts for a .5 second and shuts down. It worked fine when it went into the shed last time. It seems to run on the priming fuel and then shuts down. Gas is fresh, air cleaner is clean.

Answer
Hello Steve:

Send me the Model Numbers Off the Mower and Engine, Please. With these I can Locate the Proper Manual and Better Assist you. From you Description, it Sounds like the Carburetor Jet is Restricted. Thanks.
