Mower kills when I engage blade
My engine wants to cut off at times when I engage my blades, it works well at times but all of a sudden it starts to act up, sometimes if I push in the clutch it helps but not always..
I figure it to be some sort of safty device but not sure reason I asked here
2002 Yard-Man Riding mower
20 HP Intek engine with a 42 inch cut.
Anyone here know what might be causing this, if so how can I fix the problem?

Could be related to the seat but I disconnected that device when I bought the mower a few years ago, now that you say it though it could be a wire under the seat that is giving the problem.

I'd say, from your description, you need to clean the carburetor. The carb opens throttle a bit when you engage the blades, and if the fuel isn't quite flowing like it should through the jets, it will stall. Try this: Run the engine with the choke on partially and engage the blades. Does it engage better? If so, the carb is the problem.
