Runs with foot on brake..Simplicity Regent 14HP Hydrostatic Transmission

[lorileiw]

Last fall I blew out the headgasket and just got it fixed. It fires right up but if I let my foot off of the "clutch" it dies. It seems like an auto shut off issue and I have a feeling it might be my transmission release lever. Anyone know how to get to this without a lift or without dismantling the entire tractor. I have tools but am a little limited here.....

Any suggestions or advice would be GREATLY appreciated

More than likely the seat safety switch is bad or become disconnected. Your engine thinks no one is on the seat. Unplug the switch, clean the connections, and see what happens.

I really want the safety switch disconnected anyway. There's a wire harness under my seat from the ignition.....do you know which wire I could disconnect to disable this?

Thanks for your help with this

As a retired instructor, telling some how to disable a safety switch is something I can't do. Sorry.
