My lawn mower (Craftsman 6hp) starts fine and works for a bit but then starts dying. After trying this for a few times, then I have a harder time to start it. When I prime it and keep trying to start it, I check the spark plug and it is not wet from fuel, so maybe there is a fuel problem. I left it out side covered, but water might have gotten in anyways. So I drain all the fuel and drained the carburetor pan from fuel. There was no water in the fuel. I put new fuel, check the spark plug too. The only other thing that I can think of is that 3 months ago, I did hit something hard with the blade. It was making a slightly different engine noise for a month or so, but eventually sounded normal I think. Any ideas what else I could try?
