Thank you all for chiming in.
Took the gas cap off, but it died after blades were engaged for a minute or two. (Yeah, no trouble driving. Only issues happened when trying to mow.)
Belt is on correctly and all pulleys and wheels are good to go.
So, I had thought, as it really sounded fuel related the whole time. I disconnected the new fuel line from the fuel filter, and blew compressed air up into the tank.
I was able to mow for about 20 minutes before it wanted to die on me again. I think there was some debris in that little spigot the fuel line connects to on the fuel tank. Enough fuel was getting out to allow the engine to run, but not enough to handle a load.
I'm going to pull the tank and clean it out, and I'm betting Ill be good to go. Maybe??
