Briggs & Stratton petrol engine.
The engine works fine for various lengths of time (up to 30mins) and then suddenly dies out. when this happens it sucks its own plunger in! (the plunger being the rubber device used to prime the motor before starting) As soon as the plunger is released the motor will restart! My original thought was that the air filter was blocked, however removing the filter has made no differance.
any ideas?
Blocked hole in petrol filler cap.

Or blocked pickup tube, I think I prefer the blocked hole in filler gap though.
Ah yes!
Another good one is soil rammed up the exhaust pipe. Not that it fots the tsyptoms here of course.
I went to school with a lad who could actually do that! What a laugh we used to have in the library at lunch times getting people to bet sarnies, crisps, fruit etc. that he couldn't do it

Filler cap is fine....I will check pick up tube!
Was he fat?
No, if he was his belly would have got in the way! He had a nice earner going on tho' with all the tucker he sold on.
