    Took the carb off and blew everything out again including the banjo bolt. Very clean, no obstructions in it. Replaced the spark plug with a new one and replaced the fuel lines. Fresh gas in it. Compression was 85 psi and leakage was 25% (middle of green). Ran it with the muffler off and still had the misfiring. Getting a decent vibration now through the whole mower, wondering if something internally is broke/breaking.

    Turns out the upper main bearing is trashed causing the flywheel gap to change and causing the misfire. Not worth fixing
