Export thread

Hi, I'm new to this forum. I purchased a used 2007 rear engine type 23 Snapper 3 years ago and has worked flawlessly until this spring. It starts and runs but when putting it in gear and releasing the brake/clutch pedal the engine dies. I'm not sure where to begin looking for a solution. The cables appear to be in good condition. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks

Sounds like one of your safety switchs is the problem. If you have a reverse mow switch I would start there

Will do, thanks.

Just wondering if it will run in neutral and idling? Will it throttle up? If you release the brake and it throws a load on the engine, the rpm's should drop down some and then the governor kick it back up to operating speed. Could be it's not getting enough fuel , so enrich the mixture screws and see if that helps.

Sorry to resurrect this old thread, but can those who experienced this problem post the resolutions? I'm having the same problem with a 2004 LT2048.
Thanks !

I was able to fix my problem today.

Need to know what you figured out on this issue and how you were able to fix the problem? Thanks Tk

Having same problem and it's highly intermittent. Eliminated seat switch, replaced clutch/brake switch. Even with the mower in neutral it will sometimes start to go dead when the clutch is released. As soon as the clutch is engaged it runs great. As I said this issue is very intermittent. Are there other switches that could be causing an problem? Switches can be notorious for being intermittent. Can't really make much from the wiring diagram. It's poor to say the least.

It is a well known problem with Magical Mystery Mowers particularly the model fitted with the infamous Unknown Engine with the Unspecified model number.
Fortunately in post #7 the answer to this problem was found & noted so there should never be reason for this thread to ever be reopened .

Hey bertsmobile1, you're a real jerk.

By the way, the link in post #7 no longer works. Duh!!

Catrancher, you definitely don’t understand how a forum like this works. Reviving a 9 year old thread doesn’t do anyone any good. As you found out some attachments no longer work or can be meaningless. Hyjacking a thread this old is only confusing and won’t help anyone. Your comments are about a worthy as hyjacking this thread. Bert, is a well respected member of this forum and I suggest you either apologize or forget you’ve ever found this site. You are the one who is definitely a step below your comments.

Hold on Rivets, if he wants to vent let the excess steam get away.
Takes a lot to worry me & I have been called a lot worse, even spat on when I did valve lash in front of a customer so they knew how to do it after having spent $ 400 on parts to fix his impossible mower so jerk is no worry
I was trying to add a bit of humour but it appears Catrancher would rather get agro .
He might have a hernia or liver stones the size of house bricks.
He obviously did not get the hint that we need to know what the mower actually is
Perhaps his ESP works better than his funny bone & he expects every one else to be the same.

Moderators.
As the link no longer works, there is no useful information in this thread so if it can't be restored then it would be better deleted all together.

Good luck, you have a strange way of requesting help
One of the really nice things about working for myself is I don't have to fix things for people that I don't like
One of the nice things about most forums is there is an ignore button so as of now you don't exist so good bye & good luck , you will need it

Bert, I know your skin is tougher than most, but this guy joins the forum to make that comment and then we’ll never see him again. My skin is just about as tough but guys like him need to be educated, as he’s dumber that a box of rocks. I personally hope he comes back with a problem, then we’ll see how smart he is.

Perhaps Rivets but I got better things to do with my time than what some peoples parents failed to do .
They don't learn so I just walk away and do my best to forget that they ever existed.
Far too many nice people to associate with that make you feel glad to be alive so why waste time on downers .
I like to treat my customers as friends which makes it a buzz every day and extend this to all of the forums.
One of them has me ignoring well over 100 people .

rear engine riders have a control module for the safety switches. Located under the seat on the right side under the metal or plastic cover. That could be your problem.

I beg to differ on that point. That is a baseless accusation with zero evidence there pal. All written in my best CSI language.

Welcome to the forum Catrancher.

And now most likely good-bye.

bertsmobile1 is a real jerk. All you had to do is say please state make & model but he had to be a smart*ss. By the way, the link on post #7 doesn't work.

How do I remove myself from this useless forum?

You coming back with something worth while, or you just acting like a feral tomcat?
Do click on it, we won’t miss you.
