Another thing that's weird is I bypassed ignition switch and connected battery directly to starter... made no difference.

Only getting 7-8 volts to starter. Battery is fully charged reading 12.8 volts. I'm assuming the positive on the starter is ran directly off of the positive from battery so the most likely spot for a weak connection would be at the key switch.

Ok yes I will likely try the voltage test and try pulling plug out to see if it cycles without any issues. If I gotta do the valve adjustment I should be able to do that i do have some small engine knowledge (mostly 2 stroke) just haven't done enough mowers to be an expert.

Yes I have heard of this issue before wasnt wanting to commit to this quite yet... is that a big job?

Mower worked fine for the first while I had it every time I would go to start it it would crank slower and slower eventually not starting. So I charged the battery and it still wouldn't start, only cranking 1 turn or so. This made me think maybe the starter was getting weak so I changed it...
