Lawnmower mechanics of the OT

My lawnmower (see link), approximately two years old
Troy Built w/Honda Engine
starts immediately and then as fast as it starts, it kills.
I've only used regular unleaded gasoline (no ethanol) and made sure that the air filter is clean.
Clogged carburetor? Or spark plug? Or something else?

The little lever that you pull before you pull to crank some times gets stuck. When you first pull the lever it gives the engine gas. It is suppose to slide back to its original position. If it isn't, just push into place after starting.

Typically this has to do with carb. Clean it very well, use fresh gas should be good to go.

I'll check this out. I'm hoping it is a quick and cheap fix with carb cleaner.

Highland Road Hardware and Home Depot carry the bulb.
My wife is cutting the grass and I'm on the porch drinking a beer and watching. My neighbor Gladys Cravitch just walked by looked at her and me and said "you should be hung."

Also check for loose connection on transmission neutral, blade, and seat cut-offs.
Also low oil pressure switch.
