Mower struggles, eventually dies

[abf]

-- I dont believe I have a fuel filter. I did thoroughly clean the fuel tank though.

-- I cleaned the carb but tonight I'm going to re-clean the carb. If it still doesn't seem to work I may just buy a new one.

-- I cleaned all the carbon off the piston/valve heads. Didnt seem to do much good as mower is not starting now.

-- Thanks again for the feedback. Once I have it figured out, I will update this post as to help people in the future possibly figure out their problem.

Well if you clean off all of the crud, it will likely make your problem worse, but go ahead and do it, it needs cleaning...

Yeah, like I said, you need to cut and adjust your valves.... Likely other things since this engine has had no care.
