The governor does seem like it's getting stuck.
Can I spray it with some WD-40?

It's not super new but it hasn't been sitting in the mower very long.

Checked the gas cap? I've had my gas caps go bad twice and cause vapor lock. What you said is the symptom.

Sounds like an issue with the carburetor. Might try spraying it with some carb

Try pulling/adjusting the governor manually. If that fixes the issue then sounds

Same happened this spring to us. We took the bell of the carburetor and flushed

Almost always the carburetor gumming up. Clean out the venturi with a bread tie

Forgot we did this also in addition to fuel line flush and carb bell clean.

I would move 6 to the group with 1 and 3. I change my spark plug yearly.

It's the easiest in the bunch and close to the cheapest.
