Lawnmower problems

I have a snapper series 22 rear engine riding lawn mower, after I start it and release the brack the mower dies, does anyone have any idea where to start to fix it. Thanks

The engine shuts down, or the mower deck comes to a stop? Or something else?

The engine shuts down when I release the brake after starting it. I would like to disable the saftey equipment on the mower if possible to fix this problem but I am not sure how to. I called snapper and they said the problem was the switch under the seat. I hooked the two wires together but it still will not stay running after I release the brake.

Not sure, but if I remember right, connecting the wires together is the same thing as not sitting on the seat on a snapper. You probably need a new seat switch.
