I don't know how to fix stuff and I'm a poor old fart. Would putting alcohol in the gas tank clean the line? I've emptied out the corrupt fuel but don't know what to do next. My one acre yard is getting way overgrown!

Unfortunately I have a lot of experience with this.
You're going to have to remove your carburetor. Remove your air filter assembly. Disconnect the fuel line and let it drain out so your gas tank is empty. There will be a couple of control rods and springs connected to the carb. Take a picture of them before removing for later.
The carburetor will be connected to the block by probably two bolts. Take them out and the carb.
Unscrew the fuel bowl from the bottom of the carb. Probably 4 Philips head screws. Dump any fluid out and clean the whole thing with carb cleaner. Reassemble. Refill your tank with non-ethanol gas. Never use anything else where fuel may sit for more than a couple days.
It's not as hard as it sounds, even for us old fogies.
