dyt 4000 model#917.273620 24hp briggs
when I pull the pto the engine stalls.so i made sure nothing was froze and spun freely ....
kept playing with knob and i found a happy medium that the blades turned,but the switch wasnt locked in the "on".so here i thought HEY its gotta be the switch
bought new one and installed and still at square one
could anyone tell me how or have a link on the proper way to adjust the electic clutch.?
I dont want to tighten or loosen 2 much and screw it up worse

thanks for reading

Try checking engine health such as compression and "read" plugs for proper color. The load that hits when PTO engages will snuff out an engine not making proper power. I also have a DYT 4000. I can engage PTO at less that full throttle without stall. Not bragging, just sharing. :thumbsup:
