Looking at the diagram Dave (if its accurate), if you disconnect it, and its the fault, it should fix the problem

when you say "seat bypass". you have left the wires disconnected haven't you?
If so, then it has to be a wire to earth problem on the lower contacts of the clutch/brakes switch - looking at the diagram

Maybe you could bring the mower up to Katoomba next weekend, and we can get 20 blokes to give 20 opinions on what is wrong, and then someone with no mechanical knowledge what so ever will fix it for you, with 18 others with a beer in hand (I don't drink) all shouting encouragement

Yes left disconnected
Already getting a hard time from swimbo cause i get to do things and she doesnt. The ice is thin
No I don't
So here is what happened. Found a switch the has a button going through to inder the deck and yes it is activated by the clutch / break pedal. It has 5 wires going to the plug from memory.
Pulled the plug
And looped the white with red (my bad, should have got white)
Thing went great ..... for a while. Oh the seat switch stopped working. Thats ok now i can pick up rocks with iut the mower stopping.
Oh no!@!@! After running for about an hour a new problem. It is flooding. I mean it is seriously flooding. When stopped fuel is pouring out the carbi on the ground. Inknow it is the carbi cause it has one of those painted credit card things like in trevs indian. What did he call that again. Oh a butterfly. Thx for the education in mechanics trev. Now i may have to cut up my credit card to fix the carbi.

Edit.
So then i looped the other side incase it had something to do with the solinoid on the carbi. Got up to check after finally getting it started again and she died. Dog nam it! the seat switch started working again
