Runs for 15 seconds and dies

Pulled my high pressure washer out of winter storage. Check the fluids and filled it up. Choked it... started... it ran fine for about 15 seconds and then shut down. Acted flooded for a while started up again ran for 15 seconds and shut down this continued about 10 times in a row. I took the air filter off and when quits it sucks a bunch of gasoline into the carburetor. I'll see if I can attach a short video after my first day.

So... I bought a new carb and armature. Installed them both tonight... Fired right up... ran for 15 seconds and died 

WHAT THE HECK???

    Did you ever find out what was wrong with it? I'm having a very similar issue with a brand new carb.
