This is an addition to a reply that I posted a few minutes ago.

I just started the engine with a spark tester attached from the plug
wire to the plug. When running the spark looks very weak and when I
trun on the mower switch the spark disappears and the engine dies.
Hmmmmm. What does this point to?

Check the safety interlocks. On some mowers if you try and engage the
deck without the seat interlock engaged it will kill the engine. I
really suspect that you have an electrical problem in addition to any
fuel problems.
