Yes, it sure could! Old gas is a plague to shops that repair lawnmowers - I used to work springs and summers in that field, and fully 50% of the problems we had to fix - most of them in early spring - were "old gas" related. A gallon or two gallon can of lawnmower gas should be stabilized with fuel stabbilizer the day it is purchased - then it is good to go for at least a year (fuel stabilizer can be bought in any hardware store or home center). Old gas is exactly like cholesterol in arteries. It clogs up the tiny openings badly. A quart of stabilizer costs about $6.00 A carb rebuild necessitated by old gas can cost $80 and up.

With the spark plug disconnected or the keys in your pocket inspect the blade or blades to see if they are damaged in any way if so replace them. There are a couple other items that may cause shacking like a bent crank shaft caused by hitting a hard object with the lawn mower blade. If the crank shaft is bent you will need to replace the engine.
