Lawnmower cuts out after 3 seconds
Hopefully someone can help. Lawnmower starts easily, but cuts out after 3 seconds unless I hold the priming bulb in (rubber bulb you press 4 or 5 times before starting the engine). Any idea what this could be attributed to? Other readings lead me to the carberator. If this is the case, is it wise to get a professional to install a new one, or is it not cost effective. Lawnmower is an Atrien 5.0 power mower.
Thanks in advance
