The most common problem for sputtering would be a mis-fire.
Remember the three soruces for engine perfection.
1. Compression
2. Fire
3. Fuel As long as all of these are working properly your engine will run fine./
When one of these getsw out of wack you must diagnose which one is improper.
Compression should read over 100 psi is good.
Most riders come with electronic ignition and they don;t go bad often, but it's a possibiloity that it could be breaking down.
The best way to find out is put a spark tester on the plug and crank it up. You can see the blue spark jump and it it misses you located your problem.

When you have it running, pull the choke out about half way. If this stops the sputtering and runs smoothly, the carb needs to be dissassembled-cleaned-reassembled. If this doesn't help try a new plug and clean the air filter. if this STILL doesn't help, it needs to go to the mower hospital for some intensive care!

shouldnt be ur spark plug, it turned on already. fuel line probably. unless its an old engine and is too weak to cut the grass. make sure air filter is clean. fuel filter too.

Have you changed the spark plugs lately? If not, start there.
