Briggs and Stratton 12 HP engine dies when clutch/braks pedal is released
Last weekend I replaced the solenoid on my Snapper RER and it started right up. The next time I went to start it (about a week later) it again started right up but would die when the clutch/brake pedal is released. What is the problem..any clues? It doesn't matter if it is in gear or in neutral, blade engaged or disengaged.

yea probably the brake/clutch pedal switch. Its probably two wires in a harness and you should be able to take a wire and bridge the two wires to see how well it runs then

I agree with the seat switch. The mower can be started with the clutch/parking brake engaged "without" having an operator in the seat. Once the clutch/brake is released, or the PTO engaged, an operator is required to be in the seat, making the seat switch.
