I have to keep the clutch pushed down to keep it staying running, no matter what gear, R, F or N.
I'm thinking seat switch... any other ideas?

Sounds like seat switch. Does it also die if you try to engage the deck.

 

[Scrubcadet10]

Well right now it has no deck, but yes, when i push the lever forward it dies

With those symptoms it most likely is the seat switch. If releasing cluck/brake and engaging blade engagement is killing it then it’s sensing the seat is not occupied.

I didn't seen nobody mention this and you may already know? but the seat switch can be disconnected on most mowers by disconnecting the plug to the switch underneath your seat. I would try disconnecting that plug and see what it does. Bob

disconnected the wiring from the switch, still wanted to die when i let off the clutch in F,R or N.

well, that is kind of true... lol :laughing::tongue:

some murray riders had a wire inside the wiring plug that when the plug is disconnected it grounds out so the plug must be connected to work. Look inside the plug for the spring clip.

Used the multimeter it set it to test continuity with the audible beep... button depressed (as in sitting in the seat) no beep. button not depressed (not sitting in seat) the meter makes the "beeep"....:confused2:
help me

is the wire touching ground before it gets to seat switch

99% sure it isn't, and all insulation on the wire isn't cracked.
