I had a problem with keeping the lawnmower running. It would start just fine, then just die. Sometimes it would start again but most of the time, it wouldn't. I checked the carburetor, fuel line, replaced the spark plug but nothing worked. The problem is the cable had a lot of play (looseness) in it. After starting the lawnmower, it begin to sputter then I pulled the actual cable and the lawnmower continue to run without dying. I replaced the cable and everything is working as it should.
