I started it n worked with it for about 15mins 1/2 hours later it won't start
Daisy For model number 20334 - April 15, 2023

Hello Daisy, thank you for your question. When the mower dies, remove the gas cap and reinstall it. This will allow air back into the fuel tank so fuel can flow again. Try to restart the mower. If the mower starts up again and continues to run you will know that the Fuel Cap 796577 is faulty and needs to be replaced. We have a repair section on our site Repair Center / Lawn Equipment / Lawn Mower/ Runs For A While Then Dies. We hope this helps.

There were two (2) problems. Leaking Fuel & Erratic Operation.

Paul from Oxford, Massachusetts

Screw drivers

The leaking fuel was solved by replacing the original gas cap (fuel leaking through seal) with a new cap. The erratic operation was due to an dirty air filter cartridge. Simple repair by unscrewing the outer filter cover and replacing the old filter with a new one. The lawn mower had also been smoking which was solved by replacing the spa rk plug. Now the mower runs like new and has no loss of power even when cutting tall grass.
