Classen Overseeder TS-20 fails to run

The engine starts, and then dies after a few seconds. It starts up again after one pull but just dies. What might the problem be?

The spark plugs been switched out, filter is cleaned out, gas and oil and both new. Im new at this and think I may be missing something, or it’s a bigger issue than i thought.

Answer this question I have this problem too

Is this a good question?

@el_hesse sounds like a fuel issue. Have you cleaned the float bowl/needle valve? What engine does this have?

@el_hesse I would start by checking the carb and the needle valve (float etc) and see what that does. Here are the manuals for the engine in your seederGx160Honda GX160 SM . If you are stuck somewhere or need more info post some images of the steps etc. with your QUESTION. That way we can see what you see and hopefully provide more assistance.
