EzTrac665 runs great, but lately a problem pops up sometimes. I start the engine and release the brake. When I pull the steering handles in, the engine dies if I don't quickly push out on the handles. Occasionally, the mower will shut off while I'm mowing - same issue (after setting and releasing the brake several times, the mower runs fine). Believe the problem is something loose on the brakes connected to a safety feature, but don't know where to look. Help please.

Also can be a worn out brake switch.

At great cost which they will never recover J D produce an excellent technical manual.
And unlike other companies, their manual actually show exactly where each & every switch and even wiring plug is located .
I very strongly suggest you spend the money & buy the book .
IT will pay for itself 10 times over during the life of the mower .

You can get a sort of idea by looking up the IPL and seeing where the switch is roughly shown
