Dirty Carberator. The needle vavle isn't letting enough gas in when you push the throttle and it is starving for gas and then kills.

How do you replace ignition coil on 5 hp Tecumseh?
1. Remove the housing
2. remove the flywheel
3. push ignition wire through the plate and remove the screw holding the ignition wire to the plate.
4. slide the ignition wire around the plate shaft bearing to that it is next to the coil
5. remove the wires on the points.
6. remove the condenser
7. Here is what you are looking for. . . The coil can be removed by putting a screw driver BEHIND the plate it is mounted to and applying force to slip it off of the laminated plate(s) it is on. There are no screws and you DO NOT have to remove the mounting plate. It just slips off/
If this happens to be a engine with a aquare paper air filer on it, about 4x6, behind the air filter box itself where it joins the carb, there is a funky shaped gasket there that eventually gets eaten up by fuel being pushed thru the primer channel, solution, replace it. This could also be a carb problem to though, question is, will it stay running if you continue to prime it? If it does, replace the gasket, if not do a carb kit, its easy. However...the gasket I am referring to, part # 272996, Briggs & stratton number, install 2 back on it, this will work better and last longer. If you buy a kit ( # 498260 ) do ask for a extra gasket, the kit only comes with one, but trust me, 2 works way better.. Your reason for even having to do this is state fuel, always use fuel stablizers, always ! Make sure when you put the air cleaner cover back on the 3 small screws holding the cover on, tighten them evenly, otherwise the will vibrate out.
The above answer is spot on. But, you can also check a couple other things. I just spent a day a half on mine searching for the 'simple problem' and in now runs like a top. I did replace the gasket behind the carb (as described above). But I still wasn't able to keep it running more than a few seconds. If you'll look inside the card while pushing the primer bulb, you should be able to see fuel pump up through the gold tube in the middle of the throttle body. If you see just a tiny but of gas or no gas at all, then try these additional fixes. The gasket for the fuel bowl must be in the groove and not weathered. The primer bulb must not be cracked at all. I still could not keep my running after all these fixes, so i turned the bolt on the bowl an additional 1/8 of a turn. It then started and has not given me any problems since. You CANNOT have any air leaks for the fuel to draw.
So here's your list that totals less than $20.00.
New plug, primer bulb, oil, fresh gas, new gaskets ( carb and fuel bowl). Tighten, but do not over tighten. This entire process is a 30 minute fix if you have all these parts on hand. Lowe's and walmart will not have these parts. You will have to go to a lawn equipment shop where they usually keep all this in stock.
What kind of oil goes in the crankcase of a polaris 680 snowmobile?
no oil goes in the crank case, it uses lubrication from the 2cycle oil injected into the fuel that runs through the crank area
What type of fuel tank and how many lines does a Johnson model RDS-21B take?
The 1959 model, 35 hp Johnson uses a two line, pressure type fuel tank. The tank is equipped with a pump, for initial priming, and as the engine runs, air, generated by crankcase pressure, travels down one line, from the engine, and pressurizes the tank. With the tank pressurized, fuel is then forced through the second hose to the engine.
What is the ratio of gas to oil for a 4 hp mercury outboard engine?
The 4 hp Mercury requires a 50:1 ratio, roughly one pint of 2 cycle oil, to six gallons of fuel.
How do you change the glow plugs on a Mitsubishi 2.8 tdi?
Fairly straightforward to change the tdi glow plugs. They are located on the near side of the engine and the first thing to do is give them a good airblast to remove any debris and stop it falling into the glow plug hole after you've remove the plugs. Next loosen the top nut on each glow plug and slide away the connecting bar. Remove the plugs the same as you would spark plugs (ie with an appropriate size socket) and replace them with new plugs. Make sure top nuts have enough space to slide the connecting bar back into place - tighten holding nuts. Job done.
How old is a Mercury outboard motor serial number 2685694?
Without knowing the horsepower, and going strictly by serial number range, this engine would be a 1979 - 1980 year model. To be completely accurate in determining a Mercury year model, you need to know both horsepower and complete serial number.

Why won't your Briggs stratton start?
That's a tough question as there can be many of reasons WHY a small engine such as a Briggs & Stratton wont start. The usual problem on most small engine's such as this is a dirty carburetor meaning the fuel jets in the carburetor are clogged. Eaither that or if it is a diaphragm type carburetor, the diaphragm which acts as a fuel pump on small engine's gets hard because gasoline, expecially todays gasoline with the harsh E-10 and alcohol additives, eventually dry's this out to nothing short of the similar stiffness of cardboard, thus no longer can pump fuel. That is only one reason why a small engine wont start but 90% of the time, it is carburetor trouble.
Another symptom can be a bad spark plug, a bad ignition condencer (engine dating pre-1985) causing a weak spark or in the case of an electronic ignition engine, (newer than 1985) a bad ignition coil.
If you have hit something hard and/or the engine has taken an immidiate shock and died, you may also have a sheared flywheel key which will throw ignition timing off thus creating a "no start" situation. All above symptoms are easily repaired though if you are mechanically, somewhat mechanically inclined or even a fast learner.
How about dirty fuel? I am trying to get my daughter's lawn mower running with a 6.5 HP B&S engine. She didn't run the engine dry last year and there was a combination of varnishy gas, water and gum in the float bowl.
After cleaning everything up, it would start, but not run and then quit starting. I removed the spark plug and it still smells like varnish so I will drain the tank anew and put in new fuel.
Next step is to drain the tank anew and replace with clean fuel.
