    MURRAY 12.5 HP mower quits when I release clutch
    When I release clutch the mower quits. It does not matter weather the mower is in gear or not. I replaced the switch under the seat but that did not help. Is theare another switch that could be bad? Please help! :(:(

    I would look in where the actual clutch pedal below the deck and see if there is a contact or plunger that when the clutch pedal is released this depresses a switch and may be in connection with the seat ground Think the clutch is a physical movement that physically would contact with a safety switch etc. Recheck the seat and clean up the metal ground springs and the bolts that holds the seat on if that's your setup. Normally the under the seat shuts of the blades on the mower deck not the mower.
