Because your carburetor is not getting fuel to the engine - could be a plug in the fuel line or it could be dirt in the screen in the pick up tube in the carburetor. I would suggest you clean the carbutator.

Why does a 22 hp Briggs stratton engine smoke when started?
We need more info on your particular engine. It could be anything ranging from adding too much oil, worn piston rings, or the fact that when the engine is started, the carburetor is being choked (cutting off much of the air supply) causing the engine to obtain air from elsewhere in the engine such as the crankcase or through leaking gaskets, etc..

What device is used as the choke on an automobile?
Older, carburetor operated engines used a choke when you needed to start a cold engine. The choke would change the ratio of fuel to air by causing a slight vacuum above the fuel metering jets. After the engine had started, the vacuum was decreased, and once the engine was warmed up, the vacuum was released, allowing the carburetor to perform as efficiently as possible. The choke was a butterfly valve that was typically attached to the top of the carburetor. When the valve was open, there was no vacuum at the top of the carburetor, when the choke valve was closed, the vacuum was present when the engine was being started/warming up. Today's engines do not have a carburetor, instead they typically use fuel metering solenoids, referred to as injectors. Modern engines do not need a choke since the computer compensates for engine temperature and starting conditions, providing that extra fuel as needed. So basically, there is no choke on a modern automotive engine.

Why will a 1991 Geo Metro start up right away the first time then NOT start after that during the day?
my 1997 Geo Metro acts the same way, I was able to figure out that it was a fuel problem because I sprayed some carburetor cleaner into the air filter compartment and it started, it would keep running as long as I kept spraying. I mentioned it to a mechanic friend and he suggested I replace the fuel pump relay. Based on my own experience with other cars, when its time to replace the relay it is usually time to replace the fuel pump too, because it might be starting to have a problem that causes the relay to overload.
