Hi i have an tecumseh 6 hp motor and this year i took it out to mow my lawn and i got it about half done ant the mower cut out i thought it might have been out of gas but the gas was fine.
i knowsed that it would only go while continue ous pushing of the primer bulb or just holding it in.So where i my self am a pretty good handy man i removed the carb to check it anc clean it during the removal process the i nodiced the air filter had a hole in it and might have sucked in some dirt and clogged up the carb. Once i cleaned the carb i put it back on and i tried to start it but would only run for a few seconds and cut out but if i hold in the primer bulb the mower and it runs fine.
What could the problem be and how could i fix it?
