M.# 247.88791 Runs And Stops
Checked if it was bad fuel, it wasn't. Could if be a bad throttle return spring? Noticed fuel leaking near the choke. What do you recommend? Runs find under load, throws snow and then stops and won't start after that. After a little bit it will put, put, and then start again, but only run for a little bit.
