i have a 92 murray. i used it the other day and i cut the gas valve to off and let the mower quit when it was out of gas. i cranked it back up a hour later and it fired up first try and then i started driving it and it went dead. now i can't get it to fire back up. i changed spark plug because i smelled gas on the other one. i made sure it had spark and it did. sometimes it will try to run but then it will choke out. it back fires sometimes when cranking. i took carb off and cleaned it. still it won't fire up. what could it be?

When you ran out of gas you could have sucked dirt into the fuel line or carb blocking fuel flow. Try starting with carb cleaner.
