So, I got this mower from my neighbor. It had been sitting for about 4 years. I put a new battery in, some gas and cranked it and it started.Well sort of. The carb was gummed up, shot all of the fuel into the crankcase. I got a new carb, Drained the crankcase, added new oil, got the carb adjusted, 13.5 HP B & S engine now purrs like a kitten!! Now to the problem. Whenever I release the clutch/brake, it stalls. I thought maybe the seat switch was bad as I could see where the previous owner had messed with it before. So, I replaced it with a new switch and replaced the clutch and PTO switches while I was at it. It still does the same thing!! I bought some contact cleaner and blew out the plugs for the switches. Still won't go!! I'm convinced it must be something with that seat switch, but I could be wrong. Any suggestions would be much appreciated!!
