Thanks I appreciate that info. The switch appears to be working fine sense when I unplug it the motor will not start. The motor runs fine the slipping seems to be coming from the forward motion of the transmission I'm thinking the skipping you are referring to would be if the motor was skipping or missing, and while it would feel the same you would hear it in the engine which maintains a smooth run. Is it possible that the switch has more than one function like it disengages the transmission?? That does not seem logical to me as I believe it just disengages the starter. Any advise would be much appreciated. I'm stumped. I have even replaced internal transmission parts on these mowers before (not this one) and never had a problem of this nature. The transmission just has a consistent jerking under a load or in the yard but smooths out on the asphalt.
Thanks in advance
