Hey everyone, I just purchased a Simplicity 4211. Not sure on the year, I will look it up once I get home and check out some more numbers on the mower. A few issues so far, but hopefully you guys can help.

After I mow for 10-15 minutes it seems to run rough and will eventually kill, the only way to get it running again is to choke it and then it only run for a few seconds and then it dies again. I drained the fuel tank and put new gas in it, hoping there was just water in the tank, put in new fuel filter and drained carb bowl. Ran it today and same thing happened. My new fuel filter is clear, the last one was white plastic, now that I can see into the fuel filter, I noticed it only had a little fuel in it when it killed. What would cause gas not to get to the filter? Last night when I drained the tank it ran out pretty quickly, so I don't think the line is plugged. Any advise?
