just scored a used tb360 with briggs 190cc eng. stars cold on first pull, no start when warm.
 
Check choke operation. Supply motor model number from mower so folks can give more specific help.
 
thanks> motor d21294 ac. is that it? found on sticker on top cover> carb is like new and so is air filter> had the bowl off and it is clean.
After running 10 minutes and no restart, I pulled the plug and it is dry.Gas is fresh. Any ideas? Im a car guy but I know alittle about mowers
 
1294 is a Briggs motor, but it seems like a pressure washer, while tb360 is a troybilt mower. I found a user manual, https://www.manualslib.com/manual/2392408/Troy-Bilt-Tb360.html?page=15#manual

Starting instructions don't mention choke, so probably autochoke. I'd take off the air filter and check choke operation. Engine warm/hot start doesn't need choke.

It starts good cold, how does it run? Can you mow with it, until it needs fuel? A used mower pickup, I would check/replace fuel lines, make sure you get good flow to carb. If carb seems ok, I'd still run some seafoam in the gas to clean it up a bit. I'd also put in a fuel shutoff. I don't run it dry, but I do shut it off, to prevent hydrolock.
