It probably happens every time he goes over to the deck to grab his beer.

No. Just put new gas just in case. I've checked every god damned thing. Replaced the spark plug and air filter in June. Damn thing runs a minute and shuts off. The carb looks clean. I should have paid someone to mow the ****ing yard.
The machine was running great then my father got his hands on it a few weeks ago and god knows what he did.

Sounds like a tad bit of sand in the tank. A grain of sand will get sucked up into the jet then the motor stalls the the motor lights up again. It will surge until it stalls out. Drain the fuel bowl.

Haven't even read back any so I've pretty much lost touch with what's going on.

distractions abound...sleeping poorly doesn't help much either
