I have what I think is an odd issue since I can't seem to find any mention of it anywhere. If I run my mower with the blades engaged during the entire cutting session everything works great. I can mow for 30-40 minutes and no hiccups. If at any time during cutting I might need to shut the power off or switch the pto off the blades spin very slow when I engage them again. It sounds like the choke is fully open as well and if you try cutting the engine sounds as though it will die (it doesn't). If I leave the blades engaged and drive for about 2 or 3 minutes all will start working again. Or I let the mower sit for about 20 minutes and then it's good. I have cleaned under the deck, everything seems in order. The belt appears good. I change oil, filters, plugs at the start of every mowing season. I have had about 3 or 4 mowing sessions with it this season before the problems started. The mower, Model 126 52" has a little over 100 hours. Any ideas on where I should start? I'm a bit at a loss since it only happens when I need to shut the blades off and back on. Thanks
