its called a fuel cut off switch or fuel selanoid can u post the model number under the seat and the one off the motor as well thanks

Will it shut off when you lift up off the seat with the brake/clutch pedal up?
Or when the blades are on?

I think what is happening is the fuel is getting shut of but not the coil.

My seat switch is bypassed I'm going to check to see if it is firing when the key is off thanks guys

Check the kill wire ,at the coil,to see if it's still connected.
If they come off,it will act this way.

Yep I have had that happen a few times.

Ok guys I turned off the key an turned it over from the cilnoid and when the key was off there was still a weak spark so what dose this mean

 

[jhngardner367]

It means the switch isn't grounding the coil when it's turned off. Either the switch is bad,or there's another wire it's routing through.
More than likely,it's the switch.

The key swich is new

In that case check the wire from the switch terminal(M),to the coil,for shorts.
