Small Engines (Lawn Mowers, etc.): John Deere L120 Lawn tractor, john deere l120, john deere l120 lawn tractor

Question
Had problems suddenly with starting my John Deere L120.  Verified that it wasn't battery or fuses or spark plugs and had small engine tech come out and look at today.  He replaced the grounding wire to the solonoid that he said was bad.  tractor now starts fine, but after a few minutes of mowing engine began to sputter then stall.  Now the engine starts fine, but as soon as I let out the clutch the engine stalls -tractor will not go anywhere.  Also, when I engage the PTO with the clutch pushed in, blades begin to engage but engine immediately stalls.  Any advice?  Spent $120 with service call and labor today to replace wire but still can't use the mower.

Answer
It sounds like you have multiple problems, one of which is a bad or disconnected seat switch, also may have a charging problem or fuel
solenoid, and maybe a valve adjust problem.

But I would first call the small engine service and let them
know that you are not happy, REALLY not happy.
