Let the gas out of the carb. Either loosen it a little from the base and let it out, or just letting it sit and cool down should do it

How do you start your riding lawn mower with a chokeWhere is the choke?

The choke on a riding lawnmower is typically a lever on the "dashboard." Often it is near the lock. The choke is used primarily when starting a riding mower that is cold and often it is not necessary to use the choke after the engine has been running. The choke, when engaged, allows more fuel and less air to reach the spark plug in the engine. The higher concentration of fuel is easier to ignite and thus the engine is easier to start. Once the engine is running and warm, the choke should be disengaged.

When your Briggs 16.5 get hot it runs poorly and then shuts down?

A common problem with Briggs or any other lawn mower is vapor lock or insufficient oxygen. When the engine begins to bog down or become unstable, try loosening the gas cap to see if it will stabilize. If it does, then it means the gas-cap vent is clogged up or needs replacing.
