Default Perculiar lawn mower problem

I'd look at fuel delivery first. Check the screen in the tank and the gas
cap (vent). It sounds (to me) like the flow of fuel is restricted. I've
seen
the cap vent cause this problem. After that checks out I'd look at the
carb.
Pull it, disassemble, clean, adjust, re-install. I bet you'll find some
crud
in the passages and restrictions in the fuel supply.


What would be reasonable to clean it with? Rag, solvent, WD40?




I'm wondering if it's worth the repair bill.

You might be able to get an estimate to better help you decide.
