If your Simplicity Lawn Mower cut is rough looking, ensure the engine speed is set to full throttle and that you are not moving too fast.

Why does my Simplicity Lawn Mower engine stall easily with mower engaged?
If your Simplicity Lawn Mower engine stalls easily when the mower is engaged, ensure the engine speed is set to full throttle and that you are not moving too fast. If these aren't the issue, the carburetor may be improperly adjusted. Also, check that the cutting height isn't set too low. Avoid starting the mower in tall grass and run the engine for several minutes to warm it up. If the discharge chute is jamming with cut grass, cut with the discharge pointing toward the previously cut area.
