Engine starts fine,run great, but dies when clutch is released?

14hp Snapper 38" riding mower.,, Dog ate some wiring ( right side)but couldn't find any broken wires. Ground wire to starter pulled out but I fixed that. Where can I get a wiring diagram or advice???

P.S. dog still alive...

Engine has no power. Could be poor compression, could be the diaphram on the carb

Michael;
Thats good news to hear thet the dog made it. Now there is a safety switch on the clutch peddle that when you let the peddle out it will complete a circuit that will keep the mower running. They are on the right side of most mowers. Some where you will see eighter a plug unpluged or a switch disconected that will come from your clutch peddle. You will have to look careful but it's there trust me. Good luck with it!
