Your float is probably stuck or your fuel system is dirty.
Try some carb cleaner if that does not work you may have to take the carb apart and clean it.
good luck.

if it starts and runs for just a few seconds then dies it is generally a carburetor issue. clean or replace the carb and that should solve your issue.

How do you replace a 2003 harley Davidson electra glide fuel pump?
Engine keeps cutting out. I turn the key off, then turn it back on in about 30 seconds and engine starts easily. but will continue to stop after only a few miles.
Why does a Briggs and Stratton 4.5 HP lawn mower engine stop 2 3 seconds after it starts unless you continue to prime it?
it is losing its prime... i have the same problem right now and i have cleaned the carburetor, changed the gas and spark plug and changed the air filter. The only thing that i can think of is that there is something wrong with the priming bulb or the gas cap is hindering the air flow... still trying to repair....
Could the distributor be the problem when the engine quits runnig every 15 seconds on a 3o2 efi engine?
If you are saying the engine starts and runs for 15 seconds and dies and then starts again for another 15 seconds and dies . . . the distributor seems to be doing its job. You might want to check if there is a fuel restriction somewhere (filter or pump).
Engine starts and runs for a few seconds and then stops this keeps happening and engine won't keep running What is wrong?

6.2 Diesel Chevrolet Why does my glow plug light continue to flash about every 5 seconds 3-4 times after I've started my 1989 Chevy G20 Van with the 6.2L Diesel?
when the engine starts in pretty cold weather the glow plug light will flash a few times until the engine runs smooth.
Why does my Briggs and Stratton 3.5 HP lawn mower engine run for 2-3 seconds and then quit It starts again when primed but will continue to stop?
Sounds like that diaphragm between the tank and carburetor to me...pull tank/carb assembly from the mower, then remove the carburetor from the tank. whats in-between is the gasket/diaphragm(be sure to remove all the old material before installing the new one) that pumps the fuel up to the carburetor and into the engine. The diaphragm only cost like 2 bucks and you can change it in like 5-10 mins. Dont waste the money on taking it to a shop, as long as you have the tools to do it....

Your Briggs and stratton lawnmower starts but then cuts out after about 30 secs What is wrong with it?
The fuel filter is probably clogged and restricting the fuel flow. If the engine blows black smoke before it cuts out, then the engine is flooding - look for a dirty air filter or a fouled spark plug.
