Honda HR-214 has a bad habit of the throttle cable slipping. Honda carbs at
very touchy. You may have carb problems.

Personally I hate lawnmowers or they hate me (and tree stumps) lol. Hope
this helps.

I just heard one should never run a mower out of gas because it can
introduce air
into the gas line and then it wont start. not your solution, sorry.

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?

....with the spark plug wire REMOVED, and secured a few inches from the
plug, of course....
