i have a problem with a murray riding mower 1992 year 40" cut 12.5hp when i try mowing the govenor arm kicks forward and causes the engine to bogg down badly it only does this when i enguage the blades and start mowing
anyone have any ideas what the problem is?

Have you checked to see if the blades are stuck (one or both of them)? Sounds like there may be something jammed, keeping a blade from turning.
