REAL HARD TO START. BUT THEN IT WILL START AND RUN FOR ABOUT 5 SECONDS THEN SHUT DOWN FEELS LIKE IT JUST SHUTS OFF NO SPUTTREING AT ALL. ALMOST LIKE TURNING A LIGHT SWITCH OFF.
Maybe fuel screen in tank is plugged (if carb is mounted on tank) or it has low oil shutoff that could be faulty

The air filter should be replaced. Also remove the old gas and put in new from the gas station. Finally, if you didn't change the spark plug from last seaon, do so as it is a small amount of cash for a lot of easy starts.

Carberator is gummed up and will need to be removed and dismantled and soaked in solvent for an hour or two.

The first thing I would check is the vent in the gas cap. If the vent gets blocked with dirt, a vacuum is formed in the gas tank; and gas will not get to the carburetor. There should be a tiny hole in the middle of the cap. Run a pin or needle down this hole and make sure it is not blocked.
There also could be a gas filter in the fuel line somewhere. This filter could be stopped up.

Hello. you have some gunk in the carburator. Get a can of starter fluid or carburator cleaner aerosol and a helper. Remove the air filter and start it up. Spray a little starter fluid into the air cleaner to keep it running for three or four minutes and the problem should clear. If it does not clear the carburator will have to be disassembled, cleaned and rebuilt. j.
