Well i did a servicing on my mower new oil new spark plug new battery cable. Because i was mowing and my mower just started dying and i would stop the blades from running and push in clutch brake and it would stay running a little bit but if i lower throttle it would dye and if i kept mowing it would die i need to get it fixed any ideas?

Could be the gas cap vent.

How long after it shuts off do you have to wait before it will start again?

When it starts to act up take the gas cap off. If it starts running good. You can clean the vent hole or get a new cap.

If it still stalls out then we can go from there.

First, let us know your engine's model numbers, also go ahead and put up the tractor's model numbers.
