I have a Scag 34Hp fuel injected cheetah that has recently started to lose power when the pto is engaged. My dealer isn't quite sure what the issue may be. It really loses power going up a hill and almost shuts off. It will start puffing black smoke until I either shut the blades off or get on level ground and then shut the pto off. It loses so much power when mowing thick grass also. Not sure if this is a pto clutch issue or what. Any help would be greatly appreciated. It is a 34hp fuel injected Kohler motor. It also will shake when you are sitting idle which has never happened before when the pto is engaged.
Thanks Jeremy
