Thanks for that info Star Tech. I've never worked with a shorting connector. Are they a safety cut off if seat plug becomes detached?

Found problem. Connector from harness to seat switch has plug wrapped in a piece of wire that when pushed all way in connector rides on plastic creating open circuit that mower wants to run. It had backed out causing brown and white wire to connect thus sending path to ground. Owner had...

Update: I think I may have found the issue. I've disconnected every switch in the system. Neutral switch (left and right), E brake switch, PTO, Ignition, connection to engine, seat switch, and I'm finding I have a short to ground on white wire circuit only. Is there a way to run this down...

Thanks for replies. Tried both ways with seat switch, no difference.

I just bypassed seat switch, checked safety switches for steering arms and parking brake, and all are working as they should. Also checked continuity on whole mower using schematic with positive results. Noticed the starter relay was tied into safety switches and tested it also with...

Ferris IS 700Z. Got done mowing and turned off to use compressor to blow grass off machine. Got back on started it and now whenever any control is moved (steering handles, parking brake, pto), engine shuts off.

I have a 2007 Dixie with a Generac engine that I think is a 27 horse powered by propane. Tags identifying engine are gone and unable to find much info on line about specs. Any help would be appreciated to adjust valves.

will do.. thanks for reply

I have a Craftsman chipper/shredder with a Briggs 8hp that seems to be running way too fast. Is there a way to adjust the rpm's?

I'm working on this tiller for a neighbor (true story). The machine is really in good shape except for the tank. I can't believe part has gone missing. There's one on bBay that's in the bidding process. I'll check with owner and see if he would rather go new if you still have that one in...

Thanks for reply slomo. I have a call in to a local shop where I've bought used parts before.

Full of rust. I think that can be resolved, however, the secondary sump chamber is paper thin and rusted through.

Thanks Scrubcadet10.
