Pressure washer problem?

I have a craftsmen gas pressure washer, it's about 1 year old and it hasn't been started in about 3 months, I tried to use it today but about 45 seconds of running it shuts off, I prime it again, it starts and then turns off in about 45 seconds, what is the problem?Pressure washer problem?
Sounds like you are not getting fuel through. it's just running on the prime. if an engine sits for a while the fuel can gum up. Usually it takes more than three months, but maybe the same fuel was in there from the previous use. anyway, clean the carburetor and you should be back in business. In the future put Sta-Bil in the gas if you are not going to run it for awhile.Pressure washer problem?
Probably a combination of stale gasoline and a fouled spark plug. Try fresh gas and clean the spark plug.
