Briggs and Stratton 7HP pressure washer will start and run a bit then dies.
I have a Briggs and Stratton 7 hp pressure washer and it was sitting for awhile and i dumped the gas and replaced it with known good gas,checked the spark plug, cleaned the brass fitting that is in the carb that i read is a problem and after cleaning that it stayed running for a bit but before it didnt run at all. Now it shuts off after a few minutes and then i have to choke it to start it again and it keeps doing it. what am i doing wrong here? whats the problem?

You might also want to perform your work while no pressure hose is attached but of course with water running as not to damage the pump. Having a hose connected on a machine that has sat a while may not be unloading properly causing high static pump pressure which will also be a cause for that 7hp to die out if already in a weak state.
