Your 17.5 hp Briggs acts like running out of gas after run for approx 20 mins you have changed the spark plugs cleaned air filter oil level is fine new battery fuse?

Here are few things you can check :

1. Check the fuel line for kinks or blockages: Make sure the fuel line is properly connected to the carburetor and the fuel tank, and that there are no kinks or blockages that could restrict fuel flow.

2. Clean the carburetor: If the carburetor is clogged, it can restrict fuel flow and cause the engine to run out of gas. Disassemble the carburetor and clean it thoroughly with carburetor cleaner, then reassemble it and reinstall it on the engine.

**3. Check the fuel pump: If the fuel pump is not working properly, it can also cause the engine to run out of gas. Check the fuel pump to make sure it is properly connected to the fuel line and the carburetor, and that it is working properly.

4. Check the fuel tank cap: Make sure the fuel tank cap is venting properly, if the cap is not venting properly, it can create a vacuum in the fuel tank and restrict fuel flow.

5. Check the fuel filter: If the fuel filter is clogged, it can also restrict fuel flow and cause the engine to run out of gas. Clean or replace the fuel filter if necessary.

6. Check the ignition system. If the ignition system is not working properly, it can cause the engine to run rough or stall. Check the spark plug, spark plug wire, and ignition coil to make sure they are in good condition and working properly.

7. Compression: Check the compression of the engine to ensure that it is sufficient. Low compression can cause the engine to run poorly or stall.

If you have checked all of these things and the engine is still running out of gas, it is possible that there is a more serious problem with the engine. You may need to take it to a qualified mechanic for further diagnosis and repair.
