I have a 2000 or 2001 11 hoarse power Murray riding lawn mower. The mower will crank and idle as it should but when I release the break or engage the blades it seems to loose power and shut off. I have replaced the safety switch for the brake. The mower continues with this problem. Something I noticed was that instead of the mower not cranking when the seat is up and the safety switch under it is not decompressed it cranks regardless.
