Bought a new Troy Bilt TB320 mower with a B&S 725ex (auto-choke) motor on it middle of last year. Started on first pull cold or hot. Ran perfectly this spring as well, but all of a sudden 2 mows ago, I couldn't get it to start after emptying the catch bag. Wasn't sure what was wrong but it started later. Happened the next time I mowed as well and read that they can have problems with the auto-choke and starting warm! I've mowed probably 20 times with it, and only after about 17-18, it has began this.

Is there a fix? Something I can at least do to at least get it to start back up? If this is a common problem, is B&S any help?

Some of the newer briggs have adjustment to the auto choke system. Since the mower is about a year old, it should still be under warranty, so it may be a good idea to let an authorized briggs dealer worry about the adjustments.
