wright sentar pto killing engine

[sbarrett]

Im having a problem with a wright sentar model wse52 23kawe serial #37816 when you pull the pto switch the blades not only wont engage but it kills the engine altogether. ive tried: replacing the starting solenoid (because originally it wouldnt start either) that fixed the starting problem, ive replaced the pto switch, ignition, brake sensor, and cleaned out all of my connections and checked the grounds and still no luck... can anybody help me?!

Must be a safety switch.....probably the seat switch

There is no seat switch on them.

Have you checked the operator platform switch and the relay? What serial number is it and is it a full size or sport model? Later ones also have a time delay module.

Take it easy on me Pugs...Air temp in the shop is over 100 before you factor in the humidity .

If it had a seat switch...Thats where I'd start looking.

Partially stuck on off switch caused me that problem on sentar. Found it by dumb luck. And be sure to replace those fuse holders they will give you problems eventually.

sounds like you need a new belt clutch assembly
