If turns over and has spark -check fuel filter -clean ,rebuild or replace carb
Tankfilter not sludged tank fuel tap filter working clean it fuel hoses good ?(allways first take airfilter off in case of test temporarily) clean it with some fuel if its need will sometimes help) carburetor float chamber the sprinkler .
in most cases the OILLEVEL can be to low level it to the right position The oil level must be against the screw of the dipstick if nothing helped disconnect the Oil surveillance but only Temporarily try it look the sparkplug for a good blue colored spark is the compression good the valves also old fuel isnt not allways a problem only when compression is bad because of Octane number

I always replace the air filter if its a paper element, and even if its a foam element I replace it rather than clean it. That said, engine stumbling is rarely and air flow problem - but it could be, so having a new filter assures no air restrictions.
I would drop the carbuerator bowl. On the bottom of the carb, near where the fuel line comes into the engine, should be a nut. Removing this nut allows the bowl to drop off the carb. Some engines the bowl screws off, you will have to look at the bowl. Often the bowl has sediment or sludge buildup inside. Cleaning the bottom of the bowl can prevent that sludge/sediment from plugging the intake tube. Even on newer mower models this is a common problem, the gas line tubing interior breaks down and the inside of the tubing can start degrading - ending up in the bowl as sludge.
After cleaning the bowl, I would add one ounce of fuel line cleaner to a full tank of fuel and run the entire tank of fuel. This will clean any deposits or "varnish" from the interior carb parts. Doing this and the first step will assure your carb is clean and functioning.
If that doesn't help, then I would look at the spacing between the magneto and coil assembly. If you want to do that I'd like you to write down all the model numbers and serial numbers on the engine nameplate, that way I can give you specific directions.
Hope this helps,

Take the carburator apart and clean it. Also, clean needle and seat. Please let me know if this helps.

The needle valve may be stuck which would not let gas into the carb. I don;t think rebuild kits are too expensive. Pull the carb and take it to a lawnmower repair shop and they should have the parts. Before that though pull the bowl and make sure it has gas in it. If no then remove the fuel line and make sure gas flows from it. If no then could be the fuel shutoff valve is not operating properly or junk in the gas tank is obstructing the line.
