I have replaced everything, from gas lines to transaxle pulley. Brunning smell and smoke began coming from under engine. The crankshaft pulley was smoking!
Sounds like something is binding. or belt is slipping. Does it smoke when not in gear. Check and see if everything turns by hand when out of gear and no motor running. Make sure its not binding anyplace. If that is ok Start it up and just idle the engine and try to run the deck and put it in gear. If that stalls it out then you do have a problem.
