I had already pulled the plunger out of the solenoid while testing for fuel delivery issues.

I will try the insulated stick trick. I noticed it would cut out with or without mower engaged. Thanks.Ummm, Ummm, dirt, grass and grit sticks and collects to greases and oils. Again your mower but clean and tight is best.
Tight is part of the recipe. How about clean and corrosion free? Clean to bare metal polished with Flitz Metal Polish? Use some star grounding washers.......
Take an INSULATED small stick of some kind. Something you won't get shocked with. Tap all around every wire AND connection on the mower. See if she stumbles or tries to die.
Use a finger or screwdriver to push in on all the safety switches. Should kill the engine until you release or press it. Depends if it is a NO or NC connection. A multimeter test on all switches would be good as well.
I started it up and shook every wire and connector. nothing happened . ?? It's been raining here all day, I'll ride it tomorrow and heat it up to see if that matters.I will try the insulated stick trick. I noticed it would cut out with or without mower engaged. Thanks.

Did you remove the tank and actually clean it out? If so, are you refilling from a questionable gas can that has debris in the bottom of it.Yes, I did clean the tank. That old Craftsman had never had the body lifted off...lots of rusty bolts. About my latest issue of hitting a bump and cutting out/loose connection...I tried the seat switch, checked all connectors on harness, die electric greased, grounds are tight, no bare wire found. Any suggestions ?
I wonder how much the OP weighs? Coming off the seat will definitely stall the mower out.He did say he cleaned the tank. I didn't see him say he removed it. He started with fuel issues, worked on that, and then said that it stalls when hitting a bump.
Yes, I removed the tank and washed it out with some old gas I had, then blew it out. I have no idea what type of gas can the owners are using.Did you remove the tank and actually clean it out? If so, are you refilling from a questionable gas can that has debris in the bottom of it.
I disconnected the seat switch, shorted out connector, it still cut out.I wonder how much the OP weighs? Coming off the seat will definitely stall the mower out.
I said insulated stick. Really meant to say fondle the entire harness in a safe manor with the engine on. Gloves with hands inside bend and twist all along each harness. Check for loose fitting connections and such.I started it up and shook every wire and connector. nothing happened . ??
