Brandon,
Check your ignition coil or magneto. I had problems with an old 1965 Mustang where the original coil would get hot and drop voltage. It would idel fine, but when I put it in gear, it died. I guess changing the engine loading or fuel mixture was enough to make a weak spark not fire. I changed the coil and had no problems since. This also happened on my 1962 Comet.

Brandon, if its any consolation, a couple of weeks ago I tore my Cub carb. apart, took it to a shop and had it boiled out, put a new kit in it, installed it and tried to start the tractor. Nothing. Tore it apart and checked it about a zillion times. Nothing. Removed one from my other Cub and installed it and it didn't turn over good and it was running. Moral of story, some things I think are jinxed.

Brandon check your fuel inlet screen where your fuel line goes into your carb if it gets clogged it wont throttle up good luck.

Brandon, one place to check is inside the fuel tank. If this is a new problem, you said you were mowing when it occured, you may have dislodged a piece of debris from inside the tank and it settled over the connection from the tank to the fuel line. (Not sure if you have a sediment bowl) but if you do, work back from the carb and check each item...gas line (Clear of clogs), sediment bowl clean and screen clear, look inside the tank with a flashlight and jiggle the tractor, if you see debris on the bottom you may want to drain the tank. Let it air out so all remaining gas evaporates. Then make a homemade tube out of 1/2" pvc pipe about 18" long (irrigation pipe works good) adapted up in size until it fits in the end of your wet-or-dry vac hose and then suck all the loose stuff out of the tank. (cut the end of the pvc that will go into the tank at an angle so you can get right down to the bottom of the tank. Don't use any metal clamps on the hose connections as you want nothing that can cause a spark in or around the tank. Use electrical or duct tape to seal it with. Eventually you may have the etch and seal the tanks interior. Good luck.
