You might contact Toro it is a saftey issue and might get you a free fix
even if out of warranty.

Maybe it will help if I refer to the drawing,
https://lookup2.toro.com/Ill/1x/375/375100.gif. Part No. 923 has two
ears, one attached to the brake handle cable the other is spring
tensioned. When I release the brake handle the cable definitely
slackens and releases it's ear sufficiently, but I have to reach down
and manually squeeze these two ears together to kill the engine. Must
be something obstructing the opposite side of the ear inside the engine.

Thanks everyone, cleaning the linkage and bending the armature a little
bit restored the contact so that now it kills the engine.

And if that don't work, just reach down and pull the spark plug wire off the
end of the plug. That works every time.
