Garden tractor shuts off when I let up on the break peddle?

Question

I put a new battery in. As some of u suggested. Now it still shuts off if I letup on the brake?

Answer 1

Sounds like you have an interlock switch that has gone bad. Get an owners manual (probably on line) and look for the interlock switches. There are used to keep people from doing something stupid like sticking their hands into the mower deck while the blades are turning

Answer 2

Check the spark plugs, or the gas line , there might be a blockage in it .

Answer 3

Is it bogging down before it shuts off or does it just stop working altogether, if it sounds as though its straining when you let off the brake and then stops then try pressing the gas pedal while you let off the brake or turning up the idle on the carburetor
