It shuts down after the choke comes to the close position.

Run the mower with the choke slightly open.

Had a similar subject on a acquaintances lawnmower and it grew to change into out ot be the vent hollow in the gas cap replaced into plugged with airborne dirt and mud....if the gas tank can't vent air in from this hollow being plugged, this is going to create a vacuum after operating a couple of minutes and not in any respect enable the gas to bypass to the carb....loosen the cap some turns and verify out operating the lawnmower, if it runs ok, then it is your subject. Take a small pin or paperclip to unplug the vent hollow. might want to also be airborne dirt and mud or grit in the bowl plugging up the little gas intake orifices of the carb if it is no longer the project---ought to empty and pull off the bowl to sparkling.

Could be a number of things.. First off, is the Gas fresh ?? gas older than 3 months will have an adverse effect on operations..
2nd, check the spark plug for fouling. Even if its clean, BUT hasn't been replaced for a good while its probably a good time to replace it.
3rd, Adjust the carb slightly richer.. It may be operating two lean.. I would suspect this is an older lawnmower and in need of adjustment/tune up.
good luck

This is a tough one for the internet, but you can rule out the sparkplug or it wouldn't start. The choke is involved, but it sounds like you may have a dirty fuel line. Check the gas tank and see if there's any grass clippings there, so stalls don't continue once the fuel line is checked.

It could be water in the carb/gas tank..... or a gas cap thats not venting or bad ignition coil.... (usually if its the gas cap..... it'll run just fine if you leave it loose or off, and usually when this happens, won't let you start the engine for a couple hours)
Ignition coil will short out when the engine gets hot..... couple minutes of cooling and it should start right back up... (check for spark right when it dies)

You have water in the botom of the carburator float bowl.
Honda? find a 10mm wrench and remove the float bowl.
There is one bolt going up thru the bottom of the carb.
clean it up, and put it back together.

As noted by "Action"... as simple as it sounds ours kept dying because grass clippings were clogging and auto killing it.
Not saying it's true here but sometimes things aren't as complicated as they appear.

It might have a bad coil is if when it quites if you have any spark. If not try a new coil.
