Check the gas tank for water at the bottom of the tank. That is a common problem.

Your civic could be running too rich because you used bad gasoline. It could also be running rich if a spark plug needs replaced.
When the engine stops running, remove and inspect the spark plug. If the spark plug is dry, (1) the fuel filter is probably clogged and restricting the fuel flow, or (2) the carburetor needle valve needs t be opened approx 1/8 turn for a slightly richer mixture. If the spark plug has carbon deposits (or is wet and smells like fuel), (1) the air filter is clogged, or (2) the spark plug needs to be cleaned / replaced, or (3) the carburetor needs to set (closed) for a slighly less rich mixture.

After sitting all winter, it could have water in the gas. Add some dry gas and fill with fresh fuel. If it's an older engine, the coil might quit working when it gets hot. Next time it stops running check to see if you still have spark at the plug.
I am assuming that the mower doesn't start.... My first guess would be that you are not getting spark to ignite the gas in the engine. Check to see if you have spark at the spark plug.
Your mower is over fueled - could be the choke is stuck on or the needle might be stuck open on your float. Could also be running rich due to a dirty/clogged air filter or faulty spark plug.
