My Bolens MTD 13.5 Briggs and Stratton engine starts, but floods out after about 2 minutes. I take it off choke after starting, but it floods out. I replaced the fuel filter, hoses, battery, and spark plug, and it has fresh fuel as well. It ran OK a week prior so I'm not sure what happened. It is a 2 year old machine BTW. Do I need to clean the carb, or replace? Thanks.

I would clean the carburetor on the mower. You are getting too much gas to the engine and the carburetor isn't allowing the gas to flow through. There has to be a blockage in there. You could have some dirt or sludge in there that is causing this problem.
I have a bolens 15.5 Hp it w turn over but wont start get spark but nothing else get gas. But get nothing
I just purchased a used Huskee riding lawn mower. First, it was not starting, I cleaned the gas line and filter and it started just fine, but now the carburetor floods everytime I trying to start. It seems it is sucking too much gas to the carburetor. What could be wrong? Any suggestions before I haul this machine to a repair shop?

My husband suggested that the needle and seat are corrorded or dirty and stuck open.
My lawn mower keeps flooding out on me. It runs fine when I unplug the hose coming from the crankcase to the bottom of the carburetor plate that the fuel line connects to. What is wrong with my mower?
