Push mower starts but dies quickly

This year is not a good year for me. My Bolens 4.5 HP, 21" rear bag and side discharge push mower worked fine until a few weeks ago. It would not start so i replaced the plug, started it up and it ran, not perfectly, but it ran.

What happened was that after cutting 25 feet of grass, the mower dies. It will start again, but it repeats this process. The deck is raised high enough, the carb is clean, the under is clear of any massive amounts of grass, and the blade isn't bent. Im not exactly a wiz at troubleshooting, so if i could get some help, this would help me out greatly.

Model: 11A - 544L163
