I've done so much stuff to the mower I don't know what fixed it but it's working now a new battery was one of the things I done but I also replaced some switches.
I 've unplugged the seat switch several times and even put some spark plug boot lube on the connector and I think it's good. Where is the reverse switch located? Only other switch I checked was the one that works off the brake pedal rod.
I'll see what happens when I put the deck back under it but while its out I ordered a new belt for it last night probably be the end of the week before I can give it a good test. Thanks for you're reply.
Yesterday I removed the deck and the spindles all good so I cranked the mower and same thing stalled engine the second I engaged the blades (no deck under mower) so I checked the seat switch and it's good and also checked the switch under the brake pedal that's under the battery compartment and...
When I pull the button to engage the blades it stalls the engine like something is locking it down but the spindles are all free so that makes me think some switch is bad any idea would be appreciated. The engine runs fine but the second I engage the rotation of the blades it kills the engine.
