Default Honda engine on older lawn mower. Starts then stalls.

Honda gas engine on older small lawn mower will start ok then shut off. I've had the carb apart twice,no dirt,clean.Needle looks good not new though. Float has drop,then is flat when flipped over. New fuel. Have brand new mower that runs fine. So I took new plug and placed in older mower same results. Checked gas cap seems ok. Even tried running with loose cap same results. Havent done anything with electrical. I know I could junk it but I want to find out what is going on. It's for trimming in rough areas plus its light and chassis is in excellent condition. Would advance spring on carb be culprit?
