It still mows fine, except it quits adding grass to the bag and basically just starts mulching whenever the bag is even just 1/3 full. Same when the grass is wet or dry.

It’s a 6.5 Horsepower Craftsman, about 3 years old. Recent new gas, new oil, new filter, new spark. Any ideas?

Matthew asked:
I have a 30” 10HP Craftsman mower (M: 502-255040). It runs fine until I engage the blades, then it shakes and cuts out. I can engage a little bit and everything looks like it is turning fine, but at about half engaged, the shaking begins and the engine chokes out. I’m wondering could this be unbalanced blades. They are pretty old, but they were working fine yesterday and I don’t recall hitting anything except an ant hill. Any ideas?

Lawnmower stops running after a minute, what is wrong?

Sam Sneed asked:
Standard Craftsman push mower runs for about a minute, then sputters to a stop. I accidentally left gas in it all winter long. I mowed with that gas and it worked fine. Then it ran out of gas, and after I put more in, this problem started. Also afterwards, it won’t start again until at least 10 minutes later. I changed the oil & put in fresh gasoline, that didn’t fix it. Any suggestions?

i’ve narrowed it down to craftsman, toro, husqvarna. i’m currently leaning toward husqvarna.
i just bought a husqvarna with a honda engine. thanks for the input. except for the guy talking about a reel mower i don’t think he ever used one!
