Victor- I had the same problem. The solution was to adjust the fuel mix screw. A couple of turns with a small allen key & all was well.

It's the screw under the air filter compartment

Drain the float chamber. A drop of water in the bottom will cause these symptoms.

Try adjusting the mixture screw. Change the fuel filter if it has one. Clean all the linkage and make sure nothing is sticking. Check the vent hole(s) in the gas cap and make sure it is not plugged-up. Make sure the blade is tight and not wobbly, some mowers will not run if it is.
