Looking for help with my 2016 Hustler Fastrack. Problem is when I engage blades with PTO switch mower dies immediately. What have I tried ? Replaced safety switch under seat and both under arms. Replaced PTO switch, both relays, checked 3 fuses, changed ignition switch, battery , clutch pigtail ,and solenoid. I’ve checked clutch and it’s good . I’ve taking clutch completely off and tried engaging PTO still dies. Any ideas?

YES can I supply you with parts ?
You are the exact smuck my pension fund wants me to find .
Now you have replaced all of those parts, any one ( or all ) of them could have been defective or wrong
Rest was incorrect so was deleted

Bert I think you are on the wrong track here. Here is the electrical schematic (Kohler engine wired very similar at the engine connector, other than that they are the same).

Note the wrong seat may have been installed. IE a NC in place of the NO switch.

I will pay that
You are right , the lap bar circuit would not be energised then the PTO got engaged
SO the seat switch will be providing the power to the carb solenoid and energising the kill relay which is wired NC
That is a substantially better diagram then the ones I have
I shall ammend my wicked ways
Just as well one of us is awake
