Craftsman Riding Mower dies when I engage blades

I just bought a Craftsman 24HP riding mower 2 months ago. Just today when I was mowing the lawn it died in the middle of cutting. After I disengaged the cutting blades, I was able to re-start it. But everytime I rotate the engagement lever the engine dies. The belt/pulleys seem to be working fine. The blades rotate by hand then the mower is off. I am stumped.

rem the spring assy that is installed in the seat switch. that switch if not working right will cut off your mower
