Default Mower stalls on blade engage

In article ,
says...
I just bought a relatively new (1 or 2 years old) Honda HRA-214
lawnmower, used. It starts on the first pull, no problem, but when I
push down the lever that engages the blade, it stalls out. Any advice on
what may be happening here would be greatly appreciated. Gas is fine,
oil seems fine, bag is empty and the spark plug is pretty much brand new.

Thanks!

Can you turn the blade by hand? Maybe somethings froze up. If nothing is
physically froze up, are you waiting long enough for the engine to warm up
and run with the choke off?
