John Deere STX30

I'm struggling this spring with my mower. Twice now I've somehow flooded the engine to the point I have gas pouring out of the air filter (top left in the video). I let it sit to dry out for the day and managed to get it started this evening. Now it's making some odd popping noise I've never heard before that you can hear in this video.

Any thoughts on what the noise may be, and what could be causing it to flood out on me?

I've been riding this thing for almost 20 years. Never had any issues with it besides batteries, drive belts, and blades dinged up, standard maintenance.

I stream my daily music fix from Amazon Music. Within the last few weeks, the sound of Audio Adrenaline's Kings and Queens song has changed pretty drastically. The lead vocals sound like a cover band, some of the background vocals are completely gone, especially early in the song, and it's just overall way weaker of a song. I compared it to a YouTube posted version from several years ago just to make sure I wasn't imagining it

Has anyone else noticed this? Or heard anything about the band putting out a new recording of the song or something?

I love the song, but whatever this new copy is Amazon is streaming is just bad enough to remove it from the rotation.
