Hi.
I have a 1996 Toro Z400 ZTR. Last year, I started having clutch problems and had the whole assembly replaced by the Toro dealer. This year, the clutch safety sensor is more often than not malfunctioning so that it won't dependably start. Does anyone know how to change the wiring to bypass this sensor so I can start it when I want to? I'm about 95% sure that it's the clutch sensor because if we play with the clutch switch for a while during starting, eventually the starter will kick in and it starts up. Otherwise the mower's working great. As for the safety sensors, I have an old Yazoo commercial walk behind that had all it's safety switches removed except for the deadman switch, so I don't mind no having the safety switches defeated.
