Why will the engine only run when you pour gas in the carburetor of the Briggs and stratton engine?

if the engine only runs when gas is poured into the carb it is generally caused by plugged jets and/or stuck needle in the seat. if it has been sitting for a length of time the fuel has either crystalized causing the plugging or the ethanol has caused a problem. if it is a new unit, briggs recommends tapping the carb lightly with a hammer to loosen the needle in its seat. for one reason or another the engine is not getting fuel through the carb
