Tried starting my old Roof mower for the first time this year and it started on the first pull. After running for a couple minutes it died. Since that time, it will start but die after a couple minutes running and won't restart until it sets a while. There is gas getting to the carb, not sure if it could be the plug or not. Any suggestions appreciated.
Thanks

As was suggested on another thread...try loosening the gas cap, could be a clogged vent.
