Sounds like something in the fuel system. Try cleaning the carb, change the filter, check the lines, and the tank for trash.

Depending on the engine your may have an oil sensor. Please post engine model numbers. Then we will be able to check for sensors and give you some possible solutions. In the mean time you could remove the float bowl, clean it and the main jet.

If it has an oil sensor, such as some Kohler models, you could be full of oil but if the sensor is bad, it may shut the engine down when the oil starts to move around.
