Mower issues :(
ok so i have a briggs and stratton lawn mower, and i just barely replaced the spark plug and got fresh clean gas and changed the oil in it about a month ago. I have to mow my lawn soon and when i went to start the thing it started and then died about 3 seconds later, i have googled why it does that and it said that i probably need to clean my carburetor, unfortunately for me i have NO IDEA where that even is, i have searched and searched and cannot find anything online that would explain to me where it is, my husband is in iraq for another week or so but i need to mow it NOW. and i am good with this kind of stuff if i know where things are but i have no idea where it is, also if i am wrong and it's not that that is wrong with it what do you think could be it? thanks

On a Briggs & Stratton the carb should be on the Left rear of engine. There should be a Cover that has 1 or 2 screws you will have to remove to gain access to carb. Also before you remove the carb. be sure and drain the gas or you will have a Mess.
Do you have any experience working on Carburetors?
