ZG 23 Starting issue

[berniebenoit02]

My ZG 23 starts fine. Once I disengage the brake or move the steering arms it quits. I am looking for advice on where to find the problem. I assume it is a safety switch somewhere, some help would be good. thx

Safety circuits
1) brake + seat switch + magneto kill
2) seat switch + PTO switch + magneto kill
What is common to both of those ?
The seat switch
SO if it is doing what you said
The problem has to be with the seat switch , the wiring to or from the switch or the interlock module should that mower have one .

bertsmobile1 thanks for the help and direction, found the issue in the plug of the seat switch. Just seemed to be loose or partly unplugged.

Thanks for coming back
Nice when it is a cheap & easy fix
That plug should have a locking tab but on some it just does not work so lon term you might need a cable tie to keep it together
