Mower bogs out when blades engaged

back yard fixer · #1 Aug 3, 2009, 06:32 AM

I got an older Simplicty 18 hp. rider. Everything runs great and works fine, until I engages the blades. It just bogs right down. The only thing I can think may be the problem is the wrong gas cap. My grandson ran over the old / original one. I have a replacement one, but not original. Would this be the problem.? What else could it be.?
