The resurrected B&S v-twin ran fine for about 15 minutes cutting grass and then just stalled out. The new fuel filter was dry when it shut down. Had about 1/3 tank of fuel. Thought either had a fuel pump issue or vacuum issue. Blew out some crusties from the fuel cap and allowed engine to cool and fuel filter to fill. Didn't see any cracks in the fuel pump vacuum line and not leaks evident when I blew in one end with other plugged.
After a couple of hours of cool down, could get the engine to fire for only a few seconds.
Tomorrow going to look at the fuel pump, but not certain if it can be disassembled and cleaned or if it's common for them to go bad. Is there an impeller inside? Best to test on the mower?
Could it be a carb issue. I cleaned it before getting the motor running.
Kill line are not connected to coils, for now. They are taped and stowed away.

Carb or fuel pump issue on resurrected B&S?
