Lawn mower stops only when actually cutting grass

[amaeze]

Hi everyone.

I'm new to this forum and I'm hoping someone can help me out.

I have a 9 year Bolens 22 inch that has been working well. I was just mowing the lawn and the mower died on me. I checked and it was low on gas, so I filled it up (actually overfilled accidentally). When I start it now, it starts up ok and will run with no problems but when I start to mow and its actually cutting grass, then it dies on me. If I push over grass that is already cut (so that its not really mowing), it runs with no problems.

Any ideas?

TIA

Could the grass be to high for the setting you are cutting on? Or could your deck be clump up an slowing down the blade??? Check these an let me know... :thumbsup:
