[bullet20xd]

I have a quest 52" cut that is blowing fuses
briggs motor
Motor will start and run, when the blades are engaged it will kill the motor and blow the 25 amp fuse.
Spindles are free. Haved looked for shorts.

Hi bullet20xd

Welcome aboard hope you enjoy your stay here and hope to hear a lot more from you. There is a lot of knowledge here to be found. I think it's you electric clutch blade that is shorting out and blowing your fuse:licking::licking::licking::licking:

Replace the electric clutch, or test it.

Have unplugged the connector from the clutch and still will run fine but when blades are turned on will blow the fuse.

Then check the switch and the wiring from the switch to where you unplugged the connector.

Then check the switch and the wiring from the switch to where you unplugged the connector.

And the good news is a switch is way cheaper than the clutch!
