Just replaced the battery, however starts fine now.
However, when I engage the blades, or take my foot off the clutch the engine dies.

likely a switch. look under seat for wires. Depends on who made it could be switch with 2 wires or one wire on a insulated metal tang that touches metal when off seat. Normally if wires are off then it would not function. If wires joined together then it would always kill

well, it was the plug under the seat. We unplugged it, allowed it to sit for a bit, replugged it, and were off and running.
