I found this mower the same week as the 1974 Snapper Lawnmower. Engine kept revving up, and down. I fixed it with assistance from the Davidsfarm video "how to fix a briggs and stratton lawnmower"
@ltlieu61 maybe gas cap is not venting, next time it dies, try removing the cap, replacing it, then try again, if it runs and dies again after 4 minutes you know thats what it is.
my 2003 murray was doing that but the diaphram did not have a wrinkle in it. i think the spring was in the wrong place bacause i just moved the spring in there a little bit then i put it back together and then it ran perfect.
can you please tell me where to get the black piece next to the side discharge? my 93 i just fixed is missing that piece! or can you tell me what it is called? would be a waste to spend 30 bucks on such an old mower. :( I hope it is attainable.

I do repairs on lawn equipment out of my house and a guy gave me one of these for free with a broken starter rope in it. Have yet to fix it though.

doesn't sound to good kinda like its been ran low on oil or the oil is old as the lawn mower.
