Question
I have a 21hp b&s mtd huskee,Im getting fuel to and into carb just not into intake. Ican pour gas into carb opening and it will run until gas runs out.have new filter and fuel pump.for a free mower this thing is getting expensive.also was running when guy parked it one year ago.it is a 1998 model all i had to do originally was to fix front end which i did

Answer
Hi Tony,

The carb most likely has dirt, debris or gummed fuel inside.
You will need to remove the carb, disassemble it, clean all the small internal openings and blow it out with compressed air.   Probe each and every hole with a small wire.   A carb rebuild kit wouldn't hurt either.  

Let me know how you make out.
