Why does a riding lawnmower backfires when you turn it off and how can you stop it?

That is caused by too much gas getting into the engine after the key is turned off. If the mower is new enough to have a anti-backfire solenoid on the bottom of the carb then it must not be working. If it is an older mower and doesn't have one then the carb needs adjusting to back off the amount of gas.

Why would your ride-on lawnmower backfire?
If it backfires while you are driving, the intake manifold bolts may be loose or the gasket may need to be replaced. If it backfires when you turn off the ignition, the fuel mixture is a little on the rich side.

Where is the solenoid switch located on riding lawnmower?
the solenoid switch on a riding lawnmower is located at the bottom of the carburetor bowl, its used to turn the fuel on and off. some older models don't have the solenoid. Also,there is another solenoid switch for the starter i think that's the one you want, that's located under the gas tank on the right hand side on the frame. good luck
