Craftsman riding mower won't stay running

Ok so, carb is all redone and the mower did start with a little more umph. Problem is that it drained the new battery in just minutes. Would that be the starter?

No would not be the starter

Are you saying that when the mower is running the battery goes dead?

Or that it goes dead trying to start the engine?

(( racing is the only sport that you need two balls ))

When it stopped running the battery didn't have enough juice to start it. The battery is brand new.
