Thanks for reply but I'm not original owner i buy and sell lot of stuff .
I get a lot of mowers
Got this in a recent lot looks showroom new but has obvious problem

Check the oil level. If it is overfilled I'm guessing you have gas in the oil which is causing your problem. Dump the oil, rebuild the carb with a new float needle and seat and you should be good to go.
