Craftsman 42" Bob Vila edition riding mower. I bought it a few months ago and it worked fine for awhile. However, recently it's started bogging down and quitting. It will sit for a moment and then restart. I've blown out the fuel lines and checked the spark plug. Everything there seems fine, but it still bogs and then quit. It also is not moving freely at the moment although it will break loose. I believe the rear brake is grabbing. It has a fairly new battery (says 3/26) and the guy that bought it said the blades were sharpened before I bought it. The tires are good, everything works except the engine problem. The clutch needs adjusting as it grabs as you release the pedal both forward and reverse. When it was running properly it mowed very well. I believe the problem is ignition, but can't swear to it. Unfortunately, I don't have a way to deliver so you'll have to bring your own trailer. I have a video of it starting and running, but can't get Craigslist to upload it even though I've seen other postings with videos. Contact me and I will email the video.
