there are many reasons for this , it could be running lean by the carb not adjusted right.look at the engine from the carb side.there are small rods that connect to a arm that goes back and forth as the load on the engine changes. this is the govenor arm. follow the rod to the throttle part of the carb when the engine is run ning, the rod will move and the govonor will move it. there is a screw that adjusts the amount of travle this govonor does. turn this screw in and the engine should have a better idle you want it to be steady and change when the mower deck is engaged or disengaged.this is the easy one b ut without seeing it or hearing it , this is the easyiest. after the idle is steady, the carb might need a adjustment for idle speed and enrichment. good luck, Erich

Briggs and Stratton does contract anyone to build mowers. The mower manufacturers contract Briggs and Stratton to build their engines (or whatever engine is on the unit). That is why you can have a Briggs and Stratton on most any type of mower. Same is true for Kohler, Tecumseh, etc. Not to say that the engine manufacturers do not build their own type of outdoor power tool but as the question states "snapper mower". Also keep in mind that if you have a snapper mower with a Briggs and Stratton engine and you need warranty work on the engine you need to go to an Authorized Briggs repair facility where as if you have a mower warranty then you need to go to an authorized repair facility for the mower manufacturer.
You can find the operator's manual for that engine at www.briggsandstratton.com. You will need to contact the manufacturer of the mower for the lawn mower owner's manual. Briggs and Stratton did not amke that mower, only the engine.
