I have a LT1000 19.5 hp. It starts right off, then seconds later, nothing, dead then it will start.
I'll turn the key and it will start right off, then I'll shut it off and a few seconds later I turn the key and nothing happens. Then seconds later I'll turn the key and it pops right off. Some times I can start it and shut it off then right away start it again 6 or 7 times then I'll turn the key and nothing happens, just dead. Then a few tries later it does the same thing.

I think the ignition switch on the mower is failing. I would replace the ignition switch.
Before replacing the ignition switch, check the wire connections on the switch. Remove the connector and check the terminals inside it for discoloration or backing out of the connector. Check the terminals on the ignition switch for any discoloration and if you see discoloration replace the switch and look closely at the terminal end in the connector that attaches to that terminal. Sometimes the terminals need to be removed from the connector and squeezed tighter with needle nose pliers.Join this conversation.
