1998 craftsman mower dies when you let off the clutch

Hey guys I got a 1998 craftsman mower that runs and drives fine but wouldn’t shut off with the key. I replaced the ignition and made sure the magneto is grounded and that fixed the problem with the key but now once I let off the clutch to drive or mow it immediately bogs down and dies. The blades are disengaged. It doesn’t have a seat safety. And I’m at Witts end. Because now the only way I can mow is to disconnect the magneto ground, start it and mow like normal then choke it with a rag to kill it when I’m done.
