I RAN OUT OF GAS WITH A HUSQAVARNA RIDING MOWER AND PUSHED IT WITHOUT RELEASING THE BRAKE IN THE BACK OF THE MOWER, REFILLED WITH GAS AND NOW EVERTIME I RELEASE THE CLUTCH THE ENGINE DIES, ANY SUGGESTIONS?

Hello:

From your Description it Sounds like the Seat Safety Swithc has a Bad Connection or Requires Replacing. The Safety System is Registering No Pressure on the Seat when the Clutch is being Engaged.
>>The Following is the Instruction File for Checking the Seat Safety Switch.
>>***PLEASE REMEMBER THAT THE INSTRUCTIONS FOR CHECKING THE SAFETY SWITCHES IS JUST THAT!!! FOR CHECKING ONLY.***
>>I NEVER Suggest a Mower be Operated with a Safety Device or Switch Disconnected or Bypassed. **Make Sure the Switch has a Good Connection. Now; On Some Model Mowers you can Simply Unplug the Safety Switch from the Harness. On Other Models you have to Place a Jumper Wire Between the Harness Terminals (on the 4 Post Switch Jumper from Same Color Wire to Same Color Wire). The Seat Safety is Showing No One is Seating in the Seat when the Clutch or Blades are Engaged.**
Please, Do Not Hesitate, If I Missed Something or you Hit a Snag or this Does Not Correct the Problem, I am Here if You Require More Assistance.
Hope this Helps. Let me Know What Happens, Please. May the All Mighty Bless You and Yours. Be Safe and Be Happy. Thanks.

Good Luck

Respectfully
