So it all started when I decided that I should change the oil since I had not done that in about four years. I changed the oil and replaced the battery. Used the mower twice after that and both times it started fine, ran fine for about 10-15 minutes, cut off, refused to restart, rested for 20 minutes, started again fine and ran until I was done mowing (maybe an hour).
Now it will not start. I have the spark plug and cleaned the carb (outside was dirty, inside was not). Fuel flows perfectly fine to the carb. Fuel filter isn't blocked. The engine spins but doesn't start or really come close to starting. I thought maybe I overfilled it with oil... drained the oil... added new oil (30). That didn't help. I have spent roughly 10 hours working on it over a few days. I'm out of ideas and can't start the mower. Any help?
