How can I fix my mower?

I have a Tecumseh 4 stroke that sarts well but will only run for about 2-3 minutes and then stops. It will start after a while and do the same thing.

2 possibilities. 1) Spark plug 2) a drop of water in the carb float bowl. 3) Ignition coil failure.

Try a new plug frst - they can fail in such a way as to go short-circuit when they get hot.
