Craftsman 190cc B&S won't keep runnint

10 years ago

I have a Craftsman 190cc 22" Rear Drive EZ Lawn Mower with a Briggs and Stratton 6.5 hp Engine. It starts easily but will not keep running unless I reach down and manually operate the throttle control on top of the carburetor. As soon as I let go, they close and shut off the engine..Any clues. Sears want me to take it to a place in Winter Park and then they will ship it to Lakeland. After a few weeks I might get it back...Not happy about that since it is still under warranty

Chances are that if it ran good last fall and just won't fire up this spring- that the issue is fuel related and likely not a warranty item. Whether Sears would charge or not, i dunno. You may just want to take it to a shop for its normal maintenance and inform them about the problem you are having when you drop it off.
