    Sound when turning off the ride on mower
    HI
    I have a cub cadet gt2544 ride on lawn mower the mower goes well but when it comes to turning it off it starts to make a really loud banging sound and not just once like 5 times and I kind of get the feeling that its going to blow or something.

    Please help

    Hi,
    Sounds like a bad ground in the key switch that cuts the engine off. Suggest that the switch replacement is the first thing to do.
    Peace,

    Sounds like maybe the fuel shut off solenoid isn't shutting off.
    This would alloow gas to be shot into a hot cylinder causing a backfire.
    Try bringing it to an idle and let run for about 30 seconds then shut down.
    LUCK
