Start with a simple thing first, make sure the connection block to the seat micro switch is pushed completley on, if it moves back even a few millimeters you will get this problem, if this does not work check/replace the seat switch, if no better it could be one of the relays situated under the bonnet by the side of the fuel tank, they look like 2" square black boxes, they will just pull of the connector block with 5 or six pins.

Start the mower and release the clutch or brake whichever you call it and the mower will stop. Have replaced the switch and soleniod and it still stalls out. Any solution to this? Been looking for a manual for this model - only 10 yrs old - but no luck.
it deffenetly sounds like the coil is bad . as the motor increases in temp. the coil pack expands thus loosing positive charge. change it if it has points filr them a little too remove the tartar you should have a sharp blue spark
Sounds too lean. Can you cover the air intake with your hand 90% or use the choke a bit and then load the engine to see if it runs better? If you ever find a carb with manual high and low mixture adjustments that will fit yours......put it on and keep it on. You can usually get then from older tractors.
It may think you are in reverse and is killing the motor to keep you from backing up with the blade running. Look for switch that is telling it when you are in reverse, maybe it is stuck with grass or other debris. another possibility is that the blades are jammed and they are stalliing the motor. Mines stalls easily when cold.
