its a 12 hp briggs and stratton engine.. it starts right up but when you try to lower the blade or let off of the clutch to make it move, it just dies. i need help.
yes ive turned the throttle up. lol

If it starts and runs well until you do something with the blades, then you might try the following:

Check to see if there are any obstructions around the blades such as a stick or maybe wire wrapped around the spindle(s).

Check the belts to see that they've not become dislodged and are properly aligned.

If that doesn't help, there is a PTO that runs the blades, it may need to be serviced.

Pulleys may be frozen up or need grease.

Engine has lost power, have the carburator checked. Spark plug serviced. (or replaced).

Otherwise, it looks like the "authorized" repair shop is the answer.

I just fixed it. It was not the gas that was the problem.

My lawn mower, "Weed Eater 21 B&S 550 series will not work. When i pull the starting cord, it begins to start, but dies as if the gas is not getting through or something. Yes, the lawn mower i have is a gas engine one.

how old is the gas? it could be bad. try draining the tank and putting in some fresh gas.On top of engine there should be big flat head screw. take that out and remove air filter and voila' there is your carb

few weeks now...Just kinda sounds like I got some bad gas or something....It's been missing and not running right....Well, my husband took it apart and cleaned the spongie thingie right about the gas tank and that was dirty...he took out the spark plug and tried to clean that.....It was pretty black on the end...It's been eating alot of gas lately....Last night....When we got done doing all this...It started and ran great for about 5 seconds....Then it just quit....And we can't get it started again....And when we do, it only runs for about 5 seconds.....PLEASE HELP!!!! I need to mow my lawn!!!!!

If you do have water in the gas tank, you'll have to turn the mower upside down and try to dump all the gas you can out of the tank. Fill it back up with new gas, try to start it again. You may need to use starting fluid to get it started. You can buy a can at any auto parts store or Wal-mart. Spray some into the air filter (that "spongie thingie") and give it ten or twelve pulls. It may smoke a little if it does start ( from turning it up side down), but if it doesn't start, you are probably better off getting a $50 mower from a pawn shop than taking it in for repair. Hope this helps!

The landlords left behind two lawn mowers (one was in the lease to keep the yard mowed) they also left behind hedge trimmers, a weed eater, a fire pit, a broken shed, and other various minuscule items. Are we as tenants allowed by law to charge the landlords storage fees for equipment and personal property they left behind and never picked up during our stay at their domicile?

I know some think that this would cause problems, those problems already started. The jacked up the rent from $580 to $900 2 months after signing a new lease. We've moved to a new location since, but they refuse to give up the deposit, I am looking at every way of getting what is owed to me, at least my deposit anyway. Charging for storage is one way.

That would be messed up to charge your landlords. You don't even own the place.
