Question:
I purchased a Husqvarna self propelled lawn mower. Model # 917.380960 Product # 38096. The mower was purchase last summer from Sears, it has a Kohler motor. The problem I have is it worked fine up until last week when it didn't want to stay running.The gas is fresh, air filter good, spark plug good.the week before as I was mowing my yard it died twice on me, but started back up after i Let it sit for a minute or two, but last week as I tried to start it, it would only stay running for about 10 seconds and die as it was running out of gas.It will not stay running, and I am getting frustrated, If this problem doesn't get resolved, I will purchase a differant mower, and it won't be a HUSQVARNA!
Answer
Have you gotten this working? I'm having the same problem, same mower. I'm thinking it's a dirty fuel bowl as I had the same problem with a different mower, but I haven't gotten around to taking it off and cleaning it out yet. I'm planning to do that tonight, but was trolling around looking for other possible solutions before I tried that.

FYI - I changed the air filter (really didn't need it) and cleaned out the carb fuel bowl and it solved my problem. I was going to change out the spark plug but it's a smaller than normal plug and my bit was too big. That probably explains why there were so many repackaged returns on the rack at the store where I shopped. Mine will be going back too and I'll worry about that when I need to.
