"After running for about 10 minutes the motor shuts off. It seems as if the fuel is turned off.
I can then choke it and it will crank but only run for 30 sec.
I cleaned tank, carberator, fuel filter, air intake looks good.
Please offer any suggestions.
Thanks"

"You can try spraying some WD40 into the carburator mouth. If still nothing it could be an ignition problem

check your spark plugs for spark?

Or take a look at this ignition trouble shooting link

If you have no spark at all, you might have to look at the Stator."

"Actually I forgot, squeeze the Primer bulb while trying to start and continue squeezing it. If the engine runs while you are squeezing your fuel pump is done.

Check you fuel tube. Could be bended or be blocked inside by something.

At your Fuel Filter you can see if there is fuel inside.

Also your carburators have a big screw at the bottom. Open it a little bit and close it quickly, it's only to see if fuel is comming out. if fuel comes out means your fuel supply seems to be ok.

How many cylinders does your engine got? It's unlikely that 2 or 3 carburaters stop working at the same time, when the fuel supply is ok.

How is it with the air. Does the Carburator mouth open when moving the throttle?
