troy bilt/briggs self propelled

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.
