my mower is a everstart riding mower with a 12.5 hp briggs&stratton engine.it will run from a cold start for 30-40 mins and then quits.i would let it cool down and start it up again for about 30 mins and quits again.i checked the oil and change it reularly and change the air filter when needed. Also change the spark plug at the start of every season.Its 4 years old.Im an auto mechanic but have now clue on small engines.could this be the points and condenser?let me know what you think.thanks.

You shouldn't buy anything important at Wal-Mart.
I have a hedge trimmer that I didn't buy at Wal-Mart. I decided to get another just like it because it was great. Unfortunately I bought it at Wal-Mart.
When I took it out of the box I knew it was different. It had the same box but the product was different.
I gave it to my employee. He used it for less than 2 minutes before asking me where I bought that piece of junk. The quality was not the same.
So don't be fooled by Wal-Marts cheap prices. Cheap is just what it says. Cheap.
