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.


Where does the mower kill wire go from coil?

The kill wire from the coil typically connects to the ignition switch or a safety mechanism that grounds the ignition system to shut down the engine. This connection enables you to stop the mower engine by turning off the switch or engaging the safety feature.


Why does myTroy Bilt lawnmower stall when the blade is lowered?

There are two things that could cause this. The first and most popular problem is that the safety switch for the seat is not working correctly. It determines whether someone is on the seat. If for some reason the driver should fall off of the mower while mowing it will shut the mower off. It is a good feature but it causes the problem you are talking about when it fails. The other thing it could be is a problem in the deck. One of the spindle could be seizing and keeping the deck belt from turning. That would bog down the engine and make it stall. This is rarely the problem. You can rule this out by taking off the deck belt and starting the mower, lowering the deck and see if it still shuts off. If it doesn't then this is the problem.


Why does craftsman mower shut off when blades are engaged?

A Craftsman mower may shut off when the blades are engaged due to several reasons, including a faulty safety switch, a low oil level, or an overloaded engine. Many mowers have safety features that prevent operation if the engine detects issues to protect against damage. Additionally, a clogged deck or dull blades can cause the engine to work harder, leading to automatic shutdowns. Checking the oil level, ensuring the safety switches are functioning, and maintaining the mower can help resolve the issue.

Can you pull out the spark plug while the mower is going?

One can do anything that they choose too. But referring to your actual question, if you pull it out it will shut off, wait actually if you pull off the spark plug wire to get to the plug the mower will already be shut off. no spark no fire. No go soldier. Plus if it was possible, you'd probably damage the engine in some way.

This is typically caused by a bad seat safety switch. The safety switches are setup so that if the rider falls off the mower it will shut down. That way the rider does not get run over. So, if it senses that there is no one on the seat it will shut down when engaged.
