geecelli17, on your lawn tractor you say it is a new starter, so that would lead me to think the ring gear on fly wheel is worn/damaged. You by chance may be able to turn the engine a little by hand which turns the ring gear out of the worn(damaged teeth) area and may now turn with the starter. If ring gear teeth all look good your new starter could be faulty, sticking drive gear/worn/damage gear/wrong starter/ mounted loose and will need to be repaired/replaced. See video links, as they may help diagnose.Good luck.

tosatheo, Sounds like it possibly could be a problem with the gas cap vent blocked, loosen or remove gas cap and see if the mower runs better, if it does try to clean the caps vent holes or replace cap. If no better you will have to check for fuel flow to the carburetor. Remove fuel line from carb. and check for flow of gas, if equipped with fuel pump you will have to crank engine to check flow. If no gas flow the problem could be fuel tank clogging at outlet shut off valve/fuel filter,rubber fuel line collapsing/pinched or faulty pump if equipped. If you are getting good fuel flow the carburetor is probably clogged in the ports(needing cleaned/rebuilt)or if equipped with fuel shut off solenoid may be faulty/sticking. Good luck.
