Check for rope or other types of impediments. Another problem might be bad gas - too much water or something foreign in the gas tank. Just ideas to check. could be a loose connection in the fuel lines - check to see if the threads on the spark plug are stripped - Other problem may be that something is wrapped around the drive shaft that controls the blades.

Drain the gas, clean the filter, put in fresh gas with a tablespoon or two of denatured alcohol. Mix well, and mow away. More than likely, you have water in the gas.

Take off the spark plug and spray engine starter in the cylinder. Put the spark plug back. If it runs for a moment, it is not getting any gas. See if it not getting any gas.

Old gas can gum up a fuel line. Speaking of fuel lines, that could be the problem. If you have a fuel filter, change it. If the unit is very old you could have a bad spark plug wire, but since it started I would focus on a fuel problem. How old was the gas? Old gas can gum up a fuel line.
