I have an older Cub Cadet Z-Force zero turn mower, model # 17AF3AGV010. I just put in a new starter and it started right up, problem is, every time I disengage the brake the engine shuts downs, put the brake back on and the engine starts back up again. It'll run on idle without a problem, as soon as I release the brake it dies. It ran fine before I put the new starter in, any ideas where to start troubleshooting?
Engine dies when I disengage the brake...

Seat switch or one of the handle lever safety switches has the bracket tab bent back out of place. Mine has done that with the right handle control safety switch a couple of times. I need to weld the switch tab to strengthen it back up when I have time.
The park brake switch tab may also be bent back from age and that will do the same thing.
