you might want to write the manufacturer whose name is on that document. You may also find that they only sell them to dealers as hard copies.

what do they share in common? Maybe bad gas that has lost some of its umph. Dirty air cleaner? Old oil with gas in it?

this is the first line that comes up in a search under GOOGLE.com. https://www.flymospares.com/images/mediator/1282/eipl2006_v140000001 p6562e.pdf

what kind of choke does it have? Automatic or manual?

I'd look on facebook market place to see if anyone has a similar honda with a good motor. Might cost less in time to grab an engine from something like that than rebuild yours. If you aren't comfortable rebuilding a mower engine, might be an interesting project learning even if you fail. I'd...

did anyone look at the Amazon link I posted? These things are incredible.

Sounds like we are pulling the lanyard on the parts cannon. The more things you monkey with the harder it will be to find the one thing that caused the issue. Drain all the gasoline, including what is in the fuel bowl. If the old carb is off, pull the bowl off after marking how it fits, and see...
