Is the choke open? If so, can you see the butterfly (throttle valve) shaft move when you give it throttle?

I bet it has bad crank seals. when was the last time you had it running good? next time you start it, spray some starting fluid into the recoil and listen to see if the engine rpm goes up. more then likely that is your problem.
