If it's related, maybe interlock wiring was pinched during the repair.

It may not be related. My mower would "run out of gas" after ten
minutes of heavy cutting. The valves in the fuel pump had gotten limp.
Without adequate pressure in the fuel line, I'd get vapor lock.

If it will run indefinitely without the blade engaged (cooler engine),
maybe it's the fuel pump.
