I am helping a neighbor with his push mower. He has a 6.5 HP Briggs and Stratton engine. When I prime the engine with gas using the little button on the mower, the engine starts up with no problem, but then quickly peters out. Is this likely a carberator problem? or a fuel supply problem? Are there any quick fixes that we can try. I am willing to give him a hand, but I don't really want to get into rebuilding his carb or something like that. I might be willing to clean the fuel line. I didn't notice any fuel filter on this unit, but I might not be looking at the right spot. Thanks, Paul
