My 650 series 190cc briggs and stratton starts and dies. I've tried everything. I can't figure it out. It only has six hours on it . its brand new?
I pump the ball ****. It starts right up and dies? Its a brand new log splitter. Its been used for less than ten hours? This year it starts and dies? I'm baffled.

First of all; if your engine is that new, take it back where you bought it and have them make good on it.That being said, if you're priming it and it starts then dies, then it's not getting fuel on its own. You've run some bad gas thru it or let gas sit in the carb (Ethanol Gas=BAD) and it is clogged up somewhere. Easy fix if you're so inclined. I'll link you to a good video that shows you how to do this carburetor. Just be very aware of how the linkage to it is hooked up (take a digital photo, trust me). Ignore the first part of the video about removing just the bowl. Take that baby off and go THRU it with a good carb cleaner. Remove the bowl gasket and set aside, as carb cleaner and rubber are not compatible. Here's the video link. I hope this helps; I know it's frustrating; I go thru this every day and keep coming back for more! :
