917.388861 Starts after priming but then dies and need to wait until it "sits"
I have a craftsman model 917.388861 that starts after priming but then dies. I have to weed eat or find something else to do with my time while it "cools" down to begin to work again. I was told by many sources that it could be the carburetor, so I went and purchased a new one. Well, it's doing the same thing. I am one of those that likes taking care of what little I have so it has been maintained with the usual changing the blade, oil, spark plug, and clean it up for the spring or whenever I get the chance. The only other thing that I am thinking is it is the fuel. But it is just not making any sense to me....Please HELP!
