On the crown 40 GPW there is a small brake switch at the bottom of the handle. Take the cover off the side of the motor and look to see if the brake switch is broken or is not being made by the mechanical lever.

Fact of the week
In March 2002, identical twins in Finland died on the same day in similar accidents within hours of each other. A 70-year-old man was killed by a truck while cycling; hours later, his twin brother was killed by a truck on the same road, about a mile away, before the family had been informed of the first accident.
