Well attempt at fixing the mower was a bust. Issue with the fuel tank and they don't make a replacement one. Changed out the spark plug, fuel line, air filter, cleaned the carburetor seemed okay then....nothing. Looks like fuel is kicking out the tank. Going to take it to a small engine guy down the street. May pay him extra to let me hang out with him to try and learn more. 

Kind of a bust, but enjoyable.
