I got a lawnboy mower from the brother in law. Last time he used it just would not stay running. It has a honda engine.Of course that was 5+yrs ago. Gas still in the carb and destroyed it. Carbs are cheap so I got one and put it in. Has the same problem he had described. It will run for a few min then quit. After some head scratching determined it would run fine with the cap off the gas tank. New cap and all is well. Never came across a bad vent on the cap before.
