No start issue, anyone else's machine does this?

I bought my Scag Tigercat machine new. It's two years old.

My machine nearly always when I go start it (mostly cold) I have to open and close the parking brake, or swing the control levers in and out before the starter engages. If I park it ready to go, it doesn't matter, I still have to swing things before it starts.

Like a dummy I ordered the switches thinking I had a bad one, but I played around with it tonight and the switches that I played with are fine. I wiggle them press on them at weird angles and they work.

So I'm thinking it's something in the electrical system. The machine needs to sence a switch opening and closing before it comes alive.

I'm curious if anyone else has the same condition? Thanks

Does mine have a computer on board?:confused2:
