Year old walk behind self-propelled. Sometimes it won't start, other times it starts and runs for about 10-15 minutes and stops. Even if starts, when I turn it off to get drink of water or other reason, it won't start again for an hour or two. It just doesn't catch when it won't start at all. No sputtering, etc. However, when it does start, when it stops on its own, there is usually a faltering and then it stops. Almost like a vapor lock. Any ideas of what is happening and how I can fix it? It is new gas (actually less than a week) and the can I am getting it from was bought new for this season so I doubt problems with that. I cleaned the foam air cleaner after every use because parts of my lawn are fairly dusty.
