Mowers backfire while running primarily due to incomplete combustion, which can occur from a few common issues. These include a dirty air filter, improper fuel mixture, or a malfunctioning spark plug. Additionally, backfiring can happen when fuel ignites in the exhaust system, often due to a timing issue or a buildup of unburned fuel. Regular maintenance can help prevent these problems and ensure smooth operation.
It depends
Backfire is an explosion produced by a running internal combustion engine that occurs in the intake or exhaust system rather than inside the combustion chamber,
Check the air filter, fuel filter. Either of these easily blocks on mower.
You probably have a bad bearing.
Sounds like the engine heats and the ignition fails.

Fuel tank cap vent is plugged.
A backfire is caused by a misfire... a cylinder fails to ignite the fuel which may cause a stutter, it may also cause a back fire due to it pushing that un-ignited fuel into your manifold where it then ignites from the heat of the other cylinders and boom you have a backfire...
