Engine strarts and idles fine but immediately dies upon release of the clutch. I have installed new battery, new spark plug, and checked the kill switch under the seat. I am wondering what could cause the problem. The mower is off and not engaged. It just dies when I release the clutch. The mower is a Craftsman GT 2.2 v twin
Thanks Tom

Answer Hello Tom:
You have the Site I was going to Send you to. From your Description It sounds like the Seat Safety or the Clutch Safety. Check the Harness. Remove the Deck and Wearing Safety Glasses, Look Under the Mower and Watch the Linkage as Someone Moves the Clutch/Brake Pedal. The Linkage May be Rubbing/Grounding the Harness. Hope this Helps. I am here if you Require more Assistance. Thanks.
Good Luck
