craftsman 917.388610 starts then stops

I have a craftsman 917.388610 Lawnmower. Just had it serviced. They gave it a tune-up, when I got it back the tank was empty and I put gas in. At that point it wouldn't start at all. Sent it back to Sears and they responded that there was water in the carb and to use fresh gas.

I did that, mowed about 8000sqft(1/5th an arce) and then it stopped running.

I can start the mower, it will run for 5-10 seconds and stop. If I keep pressing the plunger I can keep the mower started.

I sprayed Gumout in the spot where the air filter goes.

Still not starting.

I am a REAL NOVICE! So please step by step and telling me what and where to go.
