Outdoor Power Equipment (Lawn Mowers, Snow Blowers, Chain Saws and more) Discussions

This unit is NEW used it for about 2 1/2 Hr. Two times while in 1st gear going along it chattered for about 3-4 sec, Then it moved along fine.

Then while I was at the end of the drive w/ 8-10" of snow in 1st gear it stoped moving, The wheel's were not spining it just stoped moving.

I put it to rev. It moved in Rev great, then back to 1st & it went along fine till it did it again.I did the same move Rev went backwards then it was fine again.

I spoke with my dealer he said O just a cable adj. I will send someone to your house to adj it. Well when I got home it was gone. they took it in to make repairs. Just wondering if anyone had this happen to them.

My Dealer seems great he has been in bussiness for a long time My first buy from them, so far GREAT SERVICE.

This one?

robmints, yes. that was the topic i started.  the resolution  or lack thereof  was not quite satisfying.

ben , u are 100% correct it "all happens" under the dash.

Jonathan, is there only one gold spring  that holds the lever that catches the piece if steel that the cams push?

I guess it works when the machine is running duty to vibration?

Yes, just one spring. I don't think vibration is involved in the operation of it.

JONATHAN, I  AGREE THAT VIBRATION IS NOT INTENDED TO BE A PART OF IT,,,,,,,,BUT ABSENT THAT IT DOES NOT CATCH.

WONDER IF ITS ALL TIE DTO THE WELDING OF THE SPEED SELECTOR?

ps excuse the caps.  i look at the key board and not the screen. 

I’ll look at mine tonight. If I remember correctly, that flat piece is snapped back by the spring to hold the right hand cam in place. This keeps the right handle down when the left handle is down and you take your hand off the right handle.

I'll also see if I can get a measurement in regards to the location of the notched piece under the dash so that you can compare it with yours.

Thanx.

Solara,

That piece with the gear shift notches also holds the cams. I measured from the back edge of the dash to the back outside surface of that piece and it is 13/4". I think if that piece is welded too far forward, that in addition to making it difficult to shift into the 6th gear notch, it would also pose a problem with the flat metal piece with the gold spring catching onto the cam and holding the right side handle down. This could be the problem with your machine.
