In Reply to: Craftsman/Kolher Engine runs for 20 minutes then quits- Any thoughts posted by John on Tuesday, April 15, 2003:
i have the same problem with my 8 hp briggs. it means that there is trash somewhere in the fuel system. try replacing or cleaning you fule filter and also take you carb apart. if there is junk in the float bole it means there is stuff in your gas tank. if there isn't much or any at all get a coffy can or something t can fit in and fill it full of paint thiner/mineral spirits. then take all the jets and stuff out of the carb and put everything in it. let it soak for about 5 to 10 minutes. take an air compress if you have one to blow the jets out also. if not look closely at all of the jets and try to blow and garbage out with you mouth. then clean every thing off. i an old toothbruch works great to clean stuff. the bristles get in and remove most of the trash. make sure you wipe it off good and let the carb dry before trying to start
