SOURCE: Craftsman 20hp kohler starts for a few seconds then dies

it's getting fuel but only runs after several times the first thing i would check is the spark if it is weak then your coil might be getting hot & not sparking right or the only other thing is check to see if there is rust on coil & flywheel clean them if so & try again if i can further help e-mail me @ [email protected]

Sounds like you might have a bad fuel pump or it is sucking air in the fuel sysyem.take a air hose and force air into gas tank and see if line is leaking fuel.if so change fuel line where it is leaking.

SOURCE: My craftsman 18.5 HP OHV will not start

first see if the fuel pump is working remove the hose from the carb and crank it over if fuel sprays out it works the see if you have power to the solenoid to the bottom of the carb if so remove the solenoid and put power to the wire and a ground if it is stuck carb cleaner can free it up if it moves remove the bowl from the carb and see if fuel is getting inside the carb a bad needle vale would stop it from getting threw

I have a Craftsman 5HP chipper that dies within a few seconds of starting. Once it starts, I have to open the choke all the way to keep it from dying. It then revs up to extremely high rpm, then dies. ...

Hello, Check the float bowl for water. The gas can could have introduced water and is holding the float in the up possition not allowing enough fuel to enter the bowl to run correctly.

In either case you have a fuel restriction or a lean condition due to too much air.
hop this helps.
