When i put down the blades to cut, the engine cuts out and stops. Before putting down the blades the engine runs fine. i maintined the engine by changing the air filter and oil and had the mower cutting for about an hour. After letting it sit for about a half an hour, i restarted it with no problem, but when i put the blades down to cut, that is when it shut off on me. Could it be a sensor safety switch on my seat that is causing the problem or could it be a belt?
