You carburetor needs cleaning out. This can happen when the lawnmower sets over the winter with fuel in the carb. Always put in a fuel stabilizer before storing the mower. I would even advise that you run the tank dry and run the carb completely dry of fuel before storing the mower. This will prevent the buildup of fuel deposits and varnish in the carb.

What does it mean when my lawnmower starts and then dies?

Most common problem is a dirty/clogged fuel filter restricting a good flow of fuel to the engine. Otherwise, the carburetor needs adjustment. Or, if the engine is blowing black smoke before it dies, check the spark plug and the air filter, or a too rich mixture from the carburetor.
