Small Engines (Lawn Mowers, etc.): Scotts 1742, switch problem, safety switch

Question
Motor dies after engaging mowing deck.  Would think it was a safety switch problem but I cannot find a wiring diagram to look at possible problems.  It is not due to a locked up mowing deck.  Please advise.

Thanks,
Jason

Hello Jason:

You can View a Breakdown/IPL of the Engine and Mower at this Site Addy, http://jdpc.deere.com/jdpc/servlet/com.deere.u90490.partscatalog.view.servlets.H... and Enter the Model Numbers and Click Find. Then Select your Model from the Search Results Area. Then Select the Sectional File. Then Select the Section of the Mower you Wish to View Online. The Breakdown Shows an Electric PTO. Check the Voltage from the Stator. If the Voltage to the Carburetor Solenoid Drops Below 10.5 VDC when the PTO is Engaged, the Solenoid Closes and Shuts Off the Gas Flow to the Carburetor Jet. If you Hit a Snag or this Does Not Correct the Problem,  I am Here if You Require More Assistance. Hope this Helps. Let me Know What Happens, Please. May the All Mighty Bless You and Yours. Thanks.

Good Luck
