My guess is that the switch may need to be replaced -- it is 35 years old, after all. :biggrin:

Please post some pictures of your mower. I have a couple of Lawn-Boys from that year... and it was a fine year.

Here's a photo of my 1977 model 6255 taken the day I bought it. It's cleaner now.

Let us know how you resolve this issue.

You have a fine mower that's worth fixing.
