spark plug gap, gas/air mixture on carb.
Carburetor adjustment or if unattainable rebuild the carb. about $20 and 1/2 hr Before you start messing with the carburetor, check the air and fuel filters.
Depends on the exact model and type number. Figure about 80-100 bucks, or 30-40 for a rebuild kit.
Go to your local autoparts store and by the rebuild kit according to your carburetor. Inside the box will be an exploded diagram of the carb which will make it relativly simple to rebuild First of all what kind of engine do you have. Briggs and Stratton or Tecumseh. If you have a Briggs & Stratton engine the factory setting on the little black screw is 1 turn out, Tecumseh engines 'usually' do not have adjustments. hope this helps

Type your answer here... It backfires because it is a Briggs and Stratton - replace it with a Honda or Kholer.
Clean out the carburetor with gas, the reason it wont keep running is its not getting enough gas through the carburetor.
There is no aftermarket for this carburetor kit at this time. It is only available from Briggs & Stratton.
A Briggs and Stratton L head twin engine wills pit gas out of the carburetor and flood out when starting if the diaphragm has been damaged. This will cause excessive fuel to enter the carburetor.
the seat on the exhaust valve is dirty so the valve does not seal it.... not sure how to clean it
The benefit of rebuilding a Briggs and Stratton carburetor is two-fold. The first benefit is the experience you can by doing the handy work on your own. The second benefit is that you save money on labor expenses.
