Sounds to me like a problem with the throttle control. As the speed
decreases, its supposed to increase the throttle.

I think you are refering to the "governor". Good point.



This provides the additional power needed. Without knowing what kind
of carburetor you have, I can only suggest clearing off the rods and
springs on the sides of the carb to be certain they are free. Wildly
tightening the carb adjustments probably won't help because something
is wrong and needs to be repaired.

I have a problem, I was mowing the yard the other day, all of the
sudden the mower quits. When I put everything in normal start
position the mower starts fine, It runs great too, until you engage
the blades, it bogs and stalls. I have check the deck and pulleys
for twigs or grass clumps... nothing there.

The mower is a Lowes brand, 14hp Briggs 42 inch cut, early to mid
90's I reckon.

I checked the gas cap to see if it was clogged, not a problem. To
be sure tried all this with the gas cap off too.


Any suggestions would be appreciated as my wife is ****ed about the
yard becoming a jungle.

Thanks!

Thanks to all! I just took it outside and tried to have it climb my
driveway, it is a pretty high incline. The mower was VERY sluggish
climbing that hill, in the highest gear too!
So is the best option to rebuild the carb? or do ya'll think there is
something more seriously wrong.

The mower idles same as always, whether in Turtle or Rabbit (lol) so I
dunno, let me know and thanks for all the fast responses! If ya'll
think its the carb, I have a guy that can rebuild it for me this weekend
more than likely.

Thanks!
Harlan
