Mower quits when blades are engaged?
The reason the mower dies when the blades are engaged can be caused by a couple of different things. One, the spindles for the blades are frozen so the blades can't turn stopping the engine. Two, the fuel system isn't allowing sufficient fuel/air flow when the engine is put under a load.
Will a huskee mower mow in reverse?
My Huskee mower will not mow in reverse due to a switch that kills the engine if the blades are engaged. This is very inconvenient. I removed the switch and it now mows in reverse. Do this at your own risk. I am the only person who uses my mower and it will be reinstituted when I sell the mower.

It's a safety feature of the mower. Usually this only happens when the blades are engaged.
Why does a mower shut off when the blades get engaged?
Possibly a bad switch under the seat. This is a safety feature that kills the motor if you overturn the mower. Unless the seat switch is made, the motor will not run with the blades engaged. There is also a switch on the blade engagement mechanism so the mower "knows" when they are engaged.
When i start my craftsman lawn mower it runs time but when the clutch is engaged it dies.?
Your clutch has to be engaged when you start your mower or at least my craftsman mower does. If it dies when you release the clutch pedal, it is due to the engine shutoff relay which is wired to the electric clutch. There are 2 wires on the lower left side of the mower that run along the inside of the frame to the clutch. These wires run just above the mower deck belts and connect to the top of clutch. They are so close that sometimes they get entangled with the deck belts causing them to be torn loose or rub the insulation off and expose the bare wire (which will cause it to ground out if it comes in contact with metal). You need to find and inspect these two wires all the way from the clutch to the point they come up through a hole in the frame floor that the engine is bolted to.
Does higher cc equate to more power in a lawn mower?
Generally it does. However a lawn mower can have a higher horse power than another brand mower, even though it has a lower cc. There is no general equation for converting from cc to horsepower for all engines and the conversion will depend on several factors such as the efficiency of combustion of the gas/air mixture, spark plug position, speed of the engine etc.
