turtlehead 88 #1 Posted September 14, 2018 Just pick up a new to me C-175 auto. The problem is that the engine quits when you try to engage the pto. Is the safety switch just out of "adjustment". Can't really see in there to get a good view. Or, should I look elsewhere. Previous owner had an occasional problem with engine continuing to run after turning key off?

SPINJIM 1,972 #2 Posted September 14, 2018 If you engage the PTO without sitting on the seat, or otherwise closing the seat safety switch, it will kill the engine. Make sure the seat safety switch is good. They're cheap and easy to replace. Good luck. Jim 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

bo dawg 473 #4 Posted September 17, 2018 I hate a seat safety switch. If you move in the seat sometimes then the engine starts to die till you put the weight back on center. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
