I went to a job today to change the oil in one mower and figure out the problem with a second.  The first was just an easy oil change, the second mower fired up, then died and wouldn't start again, so I took it with me to troubleshoot in my shop.  I figured that the carburetor had been sitting with gas in it and needed to be cleaned.  I took it apart and found not only was the carb pretty gummed up, but the bowl bolt was clogged and the intake gasket was broken.  I ordered the gaskets, cleaned all the parts, and am just waiting for the parts to get here to finish the job.
