    Looks like a good deal to me. It might just be the "reverse" switch.

    If it thinks reverse is enguaged and you try to enguage the blades it will die out. It's a common problem on newer mowers with that safety feature. Also the motor alone is worth that much.

    Sounds like a 20 year old mower ,
    I wouldn't pay that for it.
    But that's My opinion .
    I buy and sell mowers all the time .
    I have 2 or 3 that sound just like that one in my junk pile.
    Luck

    Dis-connect the kill wire coming out from the shroud. Its usually by the starter . Then start the mower and see if it stalls or not. If so go through the blade sensor and the neutral sensor to see which one is bias . Good luck. Post results if you can
