All,
I have a Poulan with a Briggs and Stratton 4HP engine. (I inherited this so I don't know its full history but from the new shiny paint and lack of rust I would safely venture that it's relatively new - less than two years old.)
I can start the engine by pressing the primer bulb 3-4 times and pulling the starter cord. The engine will run for 3-4 seconds (until the fuel is exhausted). After the engine starts if I continue to press the primer bulb the engine will continue running.
I have taken the carb off and cleaned it and all the associated lines. There was/is no debris in the tank. There is fresh gas in the tank.
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!
Phil
