It sounds like it runs OK when cold, and it is tuned to run "lean" cold, but when it warms, it does not get enough air. Check the air filter, and I'll bet it is dirty. If not, go with the guy suggesting the bad gas. You don't have a bad plug. Generally, air filter, plug, and gas are 90% of mower problems. I would check the air filter.

You might have some bad gas, (i.e. it is old or has water in it) or it might just need a tune-up. I would have it serviced, as it is getting to that time of year again.

These engines have a diaphram carb and need to be cleaned and rebuilt as the diaphram fails. It is not a hard job. You remove the gas tank and carb together. Then remove the carb and clean it out and put it back together with a rebuild kit. The kit costs about $10-15. Make sure that you note how the springs and rods attach to the carb. I sometimes use digital photos to make sure it goes back together right. The most likely problem is the carburetor.
