no it was off just left in ignition

My mechanic neighbour suggested I pull the key out of the ignition, and that solved the problem, battery was fine the next week. So now I will leave the key out of the lawn mower, I don't think I will buy another ignition switch.

My Craftsman lawn mower kills the battery if it sits for a week. The battery is charged up but for some reason it is discharged after sitting idle and the battery is brand new. Any idea what could be causing the short?
