I have a Husqvarna YT48DXLS riding lawn mower. It has a 48" cut and a 25 HP Kohler motor. It takes me about an hour to mow my lawn as sometimes, 4-6 times, it just seems like the choke has been pulled out. The mower will lose power and almost die. If I turn off the mower deck and it will usually recover with lots of smoke then run just like normal. I have tried to figure out when it will do it (turning, uphill, down hill), but there seems to be no rhyme or reason when or if it will happen.
My second issue is, I had the dealer put a factory mulch kit on the mower. I have had mulching mowers for 25 years, but never had this issue. When I mow I get covered with grass clippings. It is like they are getting blown out of the right/front part of the deck. My feet and legs will be covered with grass. I am thinking about switching blades to Oregon Gator blades that I have used on other mulching mowers.
Thanks in advance for the help!

For the mulcher issue, I would contact the dealer since there is obviously a defective part.
If you are seeing smoke, something is overheating. You may be burning oil.
I know it is now 2 years since your post but I came across it searching for an answer to my mower. My mower is doing exactly the same thing yours did. Did you ever get a fix?
Also my mower with the mulching kit throws stuff everywhere including on me. I saw a YouTube video and the guys mower was doing the same thing. While I would prefer it to just lay down the grass clippings, I suppose its not unreasonable that all of that stuuff has to go somewhere if the discharge chute is blocked.
