Sounds like maybe the wiring was done by British Leyland ???

I checked that and it is good. Years ago I bypassed the switch on my fathers old mower and it was two wires you just connected together. This one has 3 and I just connected the two main leaving the ground. Reading up I need to connect all 3 so I will try that tomorrow.Might be a fuse blown.
I have been mowing for years without the safeties and to tell the truth, the seat safety is there for morons. It is a pain in the butt when you need to get off and open a gate. Better to lower the throttle, stop the blades, and drop the deck then to have to keep restarting the mower.Why don't you wait and let someone knowledgeable look at it before you bypass every safety on it. YOU of all people need the safeties.

Morons, huh?!?I have been mowing for years without the safeties and to tell the truth, the seat safety is there for morons. It is a pain in the butt when you need to get off and open a gate. Better to lower the throttle, stop the blades, and drop the deck then to have to keep restarting the mower.
I wouldn't say safeties are only for morons. You probably don't need the seat safety, until you fall off with blades engaged. That happens and that is why it is there.I have been mowing for years without the safeties and to tell the truth, the seat safety is there for morons.

Seems like to me that the seat safety is designed for your use case. What if you get a kink in the O2, pass out, fall off and the mower does donuts on your a$$ for an hour?I have been mowing for years without the safeties and to tell the truth, the seat safety is there for morons.
