riding lawn mower start fine but?
i have a 14.4 OHV riding lawn mower that start fine,but when i push the handle to engage the blades to cut ,the engine turn off,same thing if i try to run forward or reverse the engine turns off and some times backfire before going off.....any idea?
thanks
There is a safety switch under the seat. If you aren't sitting on it the engine will quit. There is also a reverse safety switch that will kill the engine if the blades are engaged when backing up. With the engine OFF raise the deck and make sure the blades are free and able to turn all around. The backfire is because it has for whatever reason (safety switches) have quickly grounded the spark before the gas in carb was burned.
