Buy a NEW spark plug before you do anything else.


Also check the gap before install. Those plugs gapped at the factory
are not always accurate... Get the correct heat range for the plug as
they are not all the same

OP - loosen the gas cap a turn or two. If the cap vent is clogged the
tank will create a vacuum, affecting fuel flow. Clean vent with a
paper clip.

You have plenty of oil in the engine, right. If the motor has a low
oil kill switch that would shut the down engine.
