Okay i have a craftsman lawn mower and i wont start. It almost acts like the battery is shot but its not. As soon as i take off the air filter it starts right up but of course its pouring out gas. So i throw the air filter back on and it stalls right out. I thought i needed a new filter but when i bought one its still doing the same thing? Can someone please help?
Is this a good question?

When you take off the air filter, it pours out gas? Did you mean to say "As soon as I take off the fuel filter"?
Check the following, to make sure they are in good condition. Replace any items which aren't in good condition:
If all of these items are in good condition, it is possible that your fuel system is clogged with contaminants. In this case you need to drain the gas tank till it is empty, and get some new gas. Mix in some Seafoam gas treatment with the new gas, then fill up your tank with the new gas / Seafoam mix. If your engine will run for just a minute, the Seafoam will have the opportunity to clean out your fuel system. The engine will run like new afterwards, if that was the problem.
You can get Seafoam at most auto parts stores.

How long does it take to stall and can you tell if it is starving out. Does it take a few minutes to be able to restart?
