Re: Wot can it be when i start my toro up and lower the...
ZTR mowers will kill the engine if the operator seat is not occupied and the brake is released. Likely you have a failed seat switch but could be other... it will depend on the particular Toro model.

recoil tabs may be stuck or damaged ---try tapping wot a rubber mallet around recoiler and try pulling --or will need to remove cover and look at the tabs
Are the belts on and in good shape. Check and see if there is something jammed in all the working parts. I had a piece of wood stuck in a belt and pulley. Are all the pulleys working? check for a broken shear pin. You might try tractor is shut off and out of gear. Get down and reach underneath and turn the pulleys by hand and see where it is stuck. Just giving you ideas.
i dont know how many pressure switches on a torro but the one on the engagement arm should be checked first sounds like it may be bad to check jus wire them up direct.
Make sure your solenoid is grounded and that the negative battery cable is well grounded also.
if those are ok, you can trace the little wires from the solenoid back to the switch and make sure there are no breaks. There are many safety switches in zero turns that could be the problem... don't take this personally but make sure your PTO switch is off. ??
It is a short in the kill switch, or the wire running to the kill switch. check insulation on the wire running to the kill switch and check the routing of the wire to insure that it is not being rubbed by moving parts, or the insulation melted by hot engine parts such as the exhaust system. Finally check that the kill switch itself is functioning properly with a test light or OHM Meter.
Was it the 'flywheel key' ? Does it yank the rope out of your hand violently when you try to start it?
Take the top shroud off, remove the flywheel nut, washer and screen. Remove the flywheel by threading the nut back onto the crank end to protect the threads and with a brass hammer ( and while lightly prying with a screwdriver from behind the flywheel) and a few good solid taps on the end of the crankshaft the flywheel should free up.
Remove the flywheel and inspect the key. Even .001th off will make the motor run funny or not at all.
