This is most likely a safety switch issue. Usually the seat safety switch will cause this problem. The mower dies because it thinks nobody is sitting in the seat, and shuts off for safety reasons.

Most use a method called differential steering – changing the speed of the wheels to steer. To that end, most zero-turn mowers are operated using two levers that control the back wheels individually. Each back wheel has its own joint transmission and wheel motor, known as a transaxle.

All lawn mowers require you to press and hold down some sort of lever near the hand grips in order to start and run the engine. This is called the blade control handle or brake bail arm. The moment you let go of it, the engine will shut off and the blade will stop spinning.

If your riding lawn mower engine dies when you release the brake, there`s a good chance the mower`s seat switch is broken or unplugged. The seat switch stops the engine when it doesn`t detect an operator sitting on the seat to prevent the mower from moving without a driver.

If the engine dies when the blades engage, it could be the result of a damaged safety switch. The first step in assessing the safety switch is to make sure it is plugged in securely. The switch is located underneath the seat, and you may have to remove the seat to reach it.

If the blades are engaged and you shift to reverse the mower is designed to either shut off the blades or the engine. Some units have ROS, this is an additional position on the key switch that can be activated if the operator feels the need to mow in reverse.

Governor springs hold the throttle in the desired maximum speed.
