More than likely you have a bad seat safety switch. You must be sitting on the seat the engage the blades. If the safety thinks there's no one on the mower it will shut it down. You can try to use a jumper wire in the plug to see if that takes care of the problem. If it does then you nees to replace the switch or see why it's not making contact. It could also be that the fuel mixture is too lean and the engine stalls. Try opening the main carbruetor needle valve about 1/8 turn for a slightly richer mixture.
