B&S engine dies when red batt. cable disconnected

I know it's probably not a good thing but for the past few years I've been starting my riding mower with an emergency jumper battery. Always started - no problems...until this week. IT died after about 10 minutes of mowing. It restarts (using jumper battery) but then dies when red cable is disconnected. I don't see any frayed wires causing a short but I did blow some fuses during some of my restart attempts. It a 14.5 OHV Briggs & Stratton on an MTD Signature2000 mower.

Thanks for any help.
