Why doaes mower stop/?

Why does my mower stop when I turn on the blades?
Craftsman model 917259521
Motor starts right up and runs strong

Micro switch issue, probably the switch under the seat. To prove the point, disconnect the earth cut out wire from the ignition coil, yhis will illiminate all switches, be aware the ignition switch will not cut the engine whilst you are doing this.
