A lawnmower stops running after a short period of time. The fuel tank filler cap is removed and an almost fuel tank of fuel is found, so the cap is reinstalled and the engine restarted. The engine runs again for a short time and then dies so the cap is removed again and the process repeats. Tech a says the problem may be due to a clogged vent in the fuel cap. The b says that the intake mainfold gasket may be defective. Who is correct?
