Hello, I have a 2009 Z-Trak 997 Zero Turn mower, Yanmar diesel, 60" deck. I'm having problems with electrical gremlins. Engine will start up and idle, with me in the operators seat I release the park brake and the engine immediately dies. I'm pretty certain that it is a switch somewhere but I don't know where to start looking. Faulty brake switch? PTO switch? Seat switch? Directional handle bar switch? ANY help would be greatly appreciated! TIA!

It sounds like the seat switch to me.
