Toro Model 20005 Mower starts after priming but will not run

I have a Toro Model 20005 with a Tecumseh engine. It only start after pumping the primer about 5 times. Then stops after the after a very short run, like no more gas is getting to the carbureator. It does not have a fuel filter, the fuel line is not clogged. New Air filter, spark plug, and fresh oil. I have also cleaned out the carbureator with STP Carbureator cleaner. Any suggestions? Thanks for your help

You must still have something in the carb. I beleive that the carb bowl bolt on that modle is also the main jet. Try taking off the bolt / jet and draining the bowl look for water or garbage. There should be a hole on the shaft drilled straight through, there should also be a metered hole drilled from the center of the threaded end to make a "T" of the holes, all those passages must be cleared. Try this, good luck. Friiy |
