Scag 48 stalls when blades are turned on

I don't get it. Mower runs fine soon as you turn no switch it shuts down. I replaced the switch it work for about 5 mins then mower continued to shut down. Any suggestions for me. Oh and it's a Kawasaki motor

check the seat safety switch

Guess I forgot to mention its a walk behind.

yeah you did lol so I'm betting its not the seat switch then but it does sound like a safety switch issue

Would you happen to know if it has one. I unplugged some harness and checked them. Didn't see any issues.
