Carburetor Assembly
The engine is successfully firing on the initial fuel prime or choke circuit but stalls as it transitions to the main jet circuit. This failure mode is caused by ethanol-related varnish obstructing internal orifices or the anti-afterburn solenoid plunger failing to stay retracted. Replacing the complete assembly ensures that both the mechanical fuel metering and the electromechanical fuel shut-off are restored to nominal specification.

Fuel Shut-Off Solenoid
The fuel solenoid at the base of the carburetor bowl is designed to cut fuel flow when the key is off to prevent backfiring. If the internal coil has high resistance or the plunger is physically stuck due to fuel varnish, it will snap shut shortly after vibration begins, starving the engine of fuel even though the initial start was successful.

Seat Safety Switch
The safety interlock system will kill the engine if it detects the operator is not present while the parking brake is disengaged or the blades are active. If the internal spring or contact in the seat switch is failing, it may intermittently break the circuit during the vibration of startup, causing an immediate shutdown as the ignition coil is grounded.
