Techmseh 3.5HP Mower engine stalls just after starting?

My mower engine stalls after running for just a few seconds.

How do I adjust the Air / Fuel mix?
Maine mower guy, September 2008
Make sure fuel is fresh, then drain float chamber and allow fuel line to purge - it's likely there is a drop of water in the fuel line or float chamber.

If that doesn't work, the carb will have to be stripped and cleaned - there is no adjustment on carbs under about 15 years old.
