Briggs and stratton 875 series troubles

I have a craftsman mower with a Briggs and stratton 875 series in it and I can't seem to keep it running. It blows out blue smoke, sputters and dies. However if u tilt the mower back by pushing the handle to the ground the engine smooths out and runs ok...for a little bit then repeats the process. I haven't tried to do any repairs yet wasn't sure where to start. I been reading other posts bout this engine and most have said they have issues with the carbs gettng clogged. Any suggestions would help thanks.
