Cody Nitardy, by "eathal" I suppose you mean ether. From what you are describing it sounds like you are not getting enough fuel going. Check the needle valve and float in the carburetors fuel bowl. Make sure that your fuel lines are clean and not kinked. Let us know what you find and for more information we would need to know what make and model engine your mower has
