Picked up this beauty of a machine and in one use i've swore off ever buying a new lawnmower again. Best mulch i've seen.

Ran it once since i've owned it and ran great. IT sat for two weeks and noticed the gas is flooding somehow and noticed gas residue forming on the flat panel. I've since ordered an inline filter and shut-off to throw on to take care of the passing valve.

Wanted to do one last cut for the season and it will start on first pull but only run for maybe 4-5 seconds, but not cleanly, sputters etc. Grabbed some seafoam and threw a few oz in and same thing.

It will run if I keep pushing the prime button to full rpm but shutoff withing a few seconds, surges maybe once and OFF. Any suggestions..? Sounds like it's starving for fuel??
