Is it using oil? You might mix some sea foam in the fuel to help keep that from building up.

Yeah, burning oil about a pint or 2 per 2-3 hours
free mower from @Okie4570 so I am willing to put some oil in it.
i need to give it a tune up, i might have some time when I die or when the mower dies.

Burning that much oil is causing the carbon deposits on the plugs. Run some cleaner like Sea foam to help it from sticking to the plugs.

clean combustion chamber might quit till you got to do it again

 

[Bocephus123]

if there is a spark arrestor make sure its not clogging up also

What weight oil? If it is burning oil that quick you could probably change filter and top off oil instead of changing oil.

The rings might be stuck. Dump some transmission fluid down the carb while it’s running. If they are stuck, that might break them free.

Thats oil build up. Add stabil, or sea foam to the fuel to help, use non ethonal gas, and keep the oil topped off. otherwise your going to spend some $ seeing the insides of the mower.
