Default Lawn Mower Sounds Like it's Going to Stall ( but doesn't )

Have a Craftsman gas push mower that I just bought at the beginning of

hums along again for a few seconds, almost like clockwork. � When I
push down on the handle to lift the front wheels off the grass, the

Before you do anything, put in a new plug. A plug can break down over
time, but still start and run. If that dosen't fix it, then you can
move on to other things like carb, timing (shear pin), valves and
etc..
