Have craftsman dlt 3000 riding mower. Main problem is when I press in the clutch and start the engine it dies when I put it in gear and release the clutch. Also dies if I try to engage the blades. Hope you can help. KC

Hi,
For whatever reason it does not "know" the seat is occupied; part of the safety protocol required on mowers.
Look for unplugged switch, bad switch, broken wire, etc.
Peace,
