Small Engines (Lawn Mowers, etc.): lawnboy 2001 SILVERSERIES, starter fluid, carburator

Question
My lawnboy will start but I cannot get it to stay running.Any ideas?

Answer
 Hello David:

 Most Times the Cause for this Problem is the Carburator. If you can Run the Engine with Starter Fluid for 25 to 30 Seconds, then Clean and Rebuild the Carburator. Hope this Helps. Let me know what Happens, Please.

 Good Luck

 Respectfully

 John
