Food for thought, possibly the support level has lessened due to the implementation of electric power tools. The company is probably moving forward with that agenda. Either way, poor excuse for not providing support to existing customers in my humble opinion. I know our local dealership...

I would check the coils, sounds like a coil problem to me. Generally speaking, your symptom as described usually indicates a faulty coil. The engine starts and runs fine. As soon as you start pto or try running up a hill or place the engine under load the engine will bog. Usually it is only one...

Assuming you checked timing, spark plugs, and all the other ideas posted above and all is well: If it has the little anti backfire solenoid on the bowl of the carb, test the voltage and current coming to the solenoid. Check resistance as well. Sometimes that solenoid goes bad, not all the way...

So, the ground test was good correct?

Watch video first Bud

All three switches get tested with continuity while disconnected from Battery and circuit.

Did you remember to test the ground circuit i posted earlier? If so, let us know the results.

If the fuse was good, then check each of the three safety switches. Pto, seat, parking brake. If you need specific instructions, let us know.

Main fuse should be 15 amp, number 4 posted on diagram above.

Check main fuse first, (if good) then perform other testing mentioned in previous posts. We need to know if power is getting past safety devices and on to the solenoid. If the main fuse is not good, then we have to find a short that's causing the fuse to blow. Please report back sir

Red goes back to fuse and on to battery for charging as well as safety switches. This wire does have a diode as shown above in diagram. It converts a/c to d/c for charging the battery. Orange goes from the solenoid to the ignition switch. Hope this helps.

Definitely not, because, it was not manufactured with headlights. In addition, the a/c from stator is converted to d/c by diode. Hope this helps.

In your case, assuming this is the proper diagram. Perform testing posted above on orange wire.

Assuming your motor is original, this should be the schematic. Read top and match to your machine. It's a start!
