That is also the drive clutch for the blade. There will be a microswitch that probably needs a clean or replacing. You could remove it & connect the wires but I take no responsibility if you do :)

The switch won't be anywhere near the actual lever. Most are at least one lever removed and nearer to the brake.

Wake me up when it's all over.
