    if it has a lever that you depress to start the blade it has a clutch assembly on the bottom that will to be replaced. my honda is set up like that.

    By your Add’l details, it sounds like the mower is performing properly. If the motor is running and the blade is turning, the lever is only operating the drive not the blade, the blade spins with the engine.
    EDIT: Ok second details, there is a mechanical clutch that needs attention, either adjustment or repair. Follow your linkages down tto a unit just above the the blade since you say you have no belts it must be directly under the engine, if the mower is relatively new it is probably an adjustment.If the mower is older you may have to replace the clutch assembly.
