Was it at idle or full throttle when you drive it?
Could be a worn drive belt.

It was at full throttle. I think the owner replaced the drive belt within the past two years, but I will confirm.

Could you please watch/listen to the following? I just recorded it. It really sounds like something is badly wrong with the engine but I don't know where to begin to fix it.

Erm, I guess the throttle was in all the way, which was flooding the engine with gas. Pulling it back and now the mower is running VERY WELL! Thank you for all your help!
