One day my lawn mower decided it now longer wanted to **** the grass into the attached bag. I am hoping for a do-it-yourself fix. Any ideas?
Is there to much old grass built up under the mower?did you damages the blades

This sounds like fuel starvation. This is usually caused by debris in the fuel float bowl or a dirty fuel filter (if used). Remove the fuel float bowl and clean out the debris. With the bowl removed use a spray paint can lid as a catch pan and check fuel flow. With the float down it should fill the spray paint can lid in about 10 seconds. If you do not have this much fuel flow you need to inspect the tank outlet port, fuel lines and filter (if used).
The 20029 & 20099 models came with either a Briggs & Stratton or Kohler Courage XT7 engine. I need to know what engine you have to provide any diagrams on what to check or clean. A n engine model number would be even better. (Please!) Since the post is labeled with the 20099 model I will cite that as a reference. This SERVICE manual should help you with repairs:

See page 27 of the manual for fuel filter location. (Optional if used) AN exploded view is on page 31.
If you have the primer bulb model see page 24 and note the ondition of the primer bulb and primer bulb hose. Any hole in the primer bulb or cracks in the primer bulb hose can also cause this symptom.
If you have the Briggs and Stratton engine (Model 20029) I need the engine number to get you the correct manual data please. Otherwise...this should help you resolve the problem.
Thanks for choosing FixYa,

1) Common problem when a mower sits for several weeks at a time between mowing;
check for extra grass debris to be glogged between the blade and the mower shell.
2) If the mower has a 'bail' or 'zone' control handle;
this releases a brake mechanism on the flywheel to allow it to rotate, and after it is running, releasing the lever will 'kill' the engine.
NOTE* when transporting a push mower in the trunk of a car, try to keep the mower as level as possible.
*extra note when mower has been transported in the back of a car;
sometimes the mower is placed in a trunk at such a severe angle that the oil from the crankcase is forced around the rings and sits on top of the piston so that when you try to pull the rope you have a 'hydra' lock. (that is when a liquid is between the piston and the spark plug) You cannot compress a liquid, so the rope appears stuck.
If this happens, remove the spark plug (make sure the loose plug wire is fastened away from any combustable that comes out of the spark plug hole *** AND THERE WILL BE A HUGE STREAM OF OIL AND GASOLINE, SO BE PREPARED TO CLEAN UP A MESS ***
pull as normal until fluid is dispelled from internal engine
clean or replace the spark plug
a few more pulls (no choke required) and you are up and going

Have you checked the belt that drives the wheel? This is more than likely the problem. It may be broken.
