Most riding mowers have three or four safety switches. One for the seat, one for the clutch/brake pedal and one for the deck height lever. If the mower has a deck engaging lever there is one for that too.

This is typically caused by a bad seat safety switch. The safety switches are setup so that if the rider falls off the mower it will shut down. That way the rider does not get run over. So, if it senses that there is no one on the seat it will shut down when engaged.


Why wont your Briggs and stratton mower get spark to the spark plug?

Without knowing what engine or what kind of mower it is this is just a guess. But, it is possible that your flywheel and/or coil have gotten rusty and are not getting the conact that they need to make the spark. Try removing the cover and sanding the flywheel and coil. If it is a riding mower with a key switch there are many possibilities including anything from a bad switch to one of the safety switches.


Where is the stop switch on a Briggs and Stratton mower engine?

If the mower has a shift knob control for "Start" "Run" and 'Stop', the kill switch will be on the end of the cable that leads to the throttle bracket. If the mower has the safety handle that shuts off the mower when it is not depressed, the kill switch will be at the end of the cable that leads from the handle to the engine. If the mower is operated with an on-off ignition switch, the kill switch wire will be spliced to the switch "off" wire some where between the throttle cable and the switch.
