Hi i once had a similar problem by giving the battery a good charge or replacing it. what happens as soon as the clutch engages it draws the power away from the engine

good luck

Maybe a faulty seat safety switch is telling the mower your not sitting on it.

Does it do this even with the engine really warmed up?
