I've had this machine for 8 years. Usually have no problems. It did this awhile back a few times then not at all last mowing season, but now has resumed this year. Regularly serviced with oil changes, new spark plug every year, remove carb for a soak and cleaning every year as well. Nothing but 87 octane non-ethanol gas since I've owned it. Even pulled the tank off a couple times for flushing. Sediment bowl is always clean and clear. When the engine nearly dies it pops thru the carb a few times as well. Sometimes the engine will snuff right out but fires back up easily.
