Hello, I am new to this forum and wanted to see if someone may be able to provide me some guidance? I have a Huskee Supreme SLT 4200. I has the lever similar to a turn signal on the left used to engage the blades. I recently purchased the mower at an auction and it seems to run great. However, when the lever is pushed forward to engage the blades it causes the motor to choke and eventually shut off. If I push the lever about a quarter of the way they turn and the mower still runs but at about 50% up it starts the choking. I sure hope someone can provide a clarification to this and possibly a simple fix?? Thank You,
Mower deck Huskee Supreme SLT 4200 (possibly 2005) PTO?

Can you provide us with the model and serial number from the tag under the seat. That way we can see what mower you are working on. Something you may want to try. Take the belt off the mower and then start and try to engage the blades. If it dies then most likely we could be dealing with a safety switch issue. It is keeps running then possibly something wrong with the deck.

If your mower is like mine

Mine has the manual PTO like yours, not the electric clutch model.
There are a few incorrect ways too route the belt that would cause sufficient friction to act in the manner you are seeing.
Take a look to see if yours is similar to mine.

I have a similar mower that had a similar problem when I got it.
if i was sitting still, I could engage the blades slowly and it would stay running, if I tried to move it at all, it would die out
if I was moving at all and tried to engage the blades the engine would die out pretty quickly.
anyway, it was the carb needed cleaned and cleaned and cleaned, 3x and then I just bought a new carb.
the cleaning would help for a while then it would start surging and not wanting to run properly.
new carb was only $22 from ebay
