Check the seat safety switch. For example, start the mower and then engage the blades. If the seat safety switch is faulty, then it will die. Same thing with putting it in gear and releasing the brake.
I agree it is the seat switch. This switch will let you start the mower as long as it is in neutral, the brake is set and the mower blades are not engaged. I think it is just two wires, maybe you can jump them together and see if it runs.

Many folks have found that a defective relay in this mower to be the cause of the "stall when i take my foot off the clutch" issue. The relay is connected to the safety switches which turn the mower off when no one is in the seat, etc.
I found that it was caused by the transmission not being fully engaged to a particular setting. when it tries to engage the tines in both forward and reverse, the engine stalls immediately.
After taking to neutral and back a few dozen times I got a 'feel' for it. Has happened in over a year.
few reasons will try to narrow down first start it and put in neutral and deck disengaged release clutch if bogs then fuel problem the carb may need adjustment or repair or fuel filter needs replacement----if no bog step on clutch no put in gear release clutch if bogs check drive belt -upper belt on engine pulley and check for binding an idler pulley problem -debris -or rear unit binding -needs service-drive pulley damaged-rear locked--if not bogging in gear step on clutch engage deck release clutch if bogs need to check deck -belts-pulleys -mandrels -bearings and for bent or binding blades good luck
