Check for loose carby or failed carby to manifold / head gasket as it appears that you have a lean mixture problem xcheck for blockage in main jet.

Hi,
It sounds like your engine is firing out of time.
Here is a link to the manual for your engine. It does contain some good info and I hope it will help you to solve this problem.

SCAG TIGER CUB Zero Turn Lawn Mower. After mowing my Scag will not start again until the next day?

If it's a crank no fire then could simply be valves need adjusted, or possibly the anti afterfire solenoid does not work after it warms. Maintenance schedule for valves is every 300 hrs. You'll need to determine if it's spark, fuel, or neither that is missing.

If it's a no crank then it could be starter, starter solenoid, or other. Further diagnosis required.

I ran out of gas while mowing now my blades won't engage, what's my problem?

Sounds like you have 2 separate problems.
Once you get more gas and get the engine running you will have solved the first one.
If the blades will still not engage, shut the engine OFF and check the drive belts, idlers, and spring on the tension idler.

Why will the cutter blades on scag SW36A not engage?

I am thinking this is a 12 volt PTO system that does not have a battery... this is where you need to check the wiring, especially the big white plug on the right side of the mower... It might also be a mechanical engagement system, if this is the case, suspect the belt popped of or is way out of adjustment

Engine cuts out wen blades turned on

You either have a faulty PTO switch or a faulty seat switch
The saftey shut down circut usually has four switches that have to be made to start motor and engage blades
both steer levers have one each
seat has one
lever conected for parking brake has one
scag might use plug in relays which could be bad too

What makes my Scag wildcat go dead after cutting a couple of rounds and it will recrack after a few minutes ?

Likely moisture (water) in the gas filter. It will clog up when running, and when it is not running the water molecules will fall back off the filter material.

Change ouit the fuel filter!

Won't start

The click means the starter solenoid is acting. Most starters are like GM autos where this solenoid is on the starter. Often heat adversely effects these parts. Try tapping the solenoid and try to start it. If that works then a rebuild is indicated.

Blades will not engage but will remain running

It is most likely the switch. I had the same problem and that fixed. I found the switch on Amazon for less than $20. Stens 430-798 PTO Switch Replaces Scag 483957
