ZG20 starts and runs, but dies

[GreaseMonkey]

It dies about 4 seconds after moving a control lever(either one). Does anyone have an idea what it could be or what additional information I should provide?

Oh yeah Newbie here...nice forum you have here

My first thought would be a safety switch. Sounds like it thinks you are not on the seat.

Thank you for your quick reply!
Thats about the only troubleshooting I've tried so far, bypassed the seat sensor, but no change to the symptom.

It could also be the brake safety switch. 5 seconds after bringing in the steering handles, the engine will die if the brake is still on.
