Default Suffolk Punch Lawn Mower Problems

Hi,

Recently bought a Suffolk punch petrol cylinder mower and all was great for 6-8 weeks.

However, I started using the mower last week and within a few minutes of use, the cylinder and self propel roller suddenly stopped working.

The engine continues to run fine, starting at the first time of asking and running as smoothly as I could hope, but nothing in terms of cutting action.

I’ve taken the side panel off and checked the tension of the belts, but they seem okay when compared to what they were previously (that’s not to say they are correct). But i’ve also tried pulling the cables manually, thus increasing the tension, but still nothing. Also think it’s quite a coincidence that both the cylinder and the self propel stopped working at the same time. Any ideas?

Kind regards,
Tony
