You can eliminate the seat switch by placing a bridge wire on the 2 connectors that go to the seat switch.
Only a temp measure as health and safety will be all over you if an accidents occurs.
Try it and see if the problem goes, if it does then remove the seat and check adjustment under the seat base.
