        Stupid. I am a Dom. Women I see treat me like a king. Begging to suck my load out of me. Bringing me drinks. Etc. And I STILL would not have a woman outside mowing the lawn. How men do that is beyond me. Be a man. Being outside doing something like that feels good.

        I let a woman mow the lawn and work out automobiles, once, but only because she fuckin loved it.

May be time for a carb rebuild. Check for rot and pin-holes in the lines. I've had small engines do the same thing in the past and it always turns out to be fuel related.

                On the off chance it's not. Check to see of there's any slack in the safety cable that shuts off the ignition (I think most mowers now have this). If that cable stretches it can sit right in the cusp of being engaged. I had a mower that would run and when it heated up it was just enough to shut it off. Adjusted the cable and it worked fine after that

                I checked everything pretty closely. I definitely think the float is sticking. The cable is pretty good- there is a stupid extra safety thing, but it turned out to not be the problem.

                So confusing. It doesn't even seem to be temp related. It stops. It starts right back up. Without even priming the thing

                    It seems to starve for fuel, just a little, once or twice before stopping

                    It could be air getting in, stuck float,

                            Maybe, somebody is pranking you by putting a small marble in the gas tank.

                                I took the carb down and cleaned the hell out of everything inside and all of the little passage ways.. I changed the plug and the air filter.... It's a Model 16048 with the Tecumseh and it looks like it's about 6.5hp

                                The gas is fresh, I cleaned the tank and the lines, I ran a little alcohol through everything in case it had water in it.. The o rings look good.. the oil ain't overfilled

                                It's this mower (not my video)

                                so you finally got a job then??? congrats!!

                                    Is there a fuel filter on the fuel line, because what you are describing sounds just like a dirty fuel filter. When there is no pressure on the line fuel gets through. As fuel pressure increases dirt in the filter gets pushed into position where it blocks the flow and the engine cuts out. Pressure falls back down and the dirt slides back and fuel can flow again so it starts right back up on the next pull.

                                    .

                                            Yeah, it should be easy to find if it is there. Between the tank and the carb right in the fuel line. Not all mowers have them but some do.

                                            You said you cleaned out all the little pathways, did you get the hole in the screw at the bottom of the carb cup?

                                                    There were several tiny passages in the bowl screw thing ... I sprayed cleaner through them all ... Shot cleaner into the hole where the needle goes, etc
