Petrol mower not picking up
Hi all, I'm hoping to avoid paying for a service on my Honda mower by
benefiting from your experience. The mower has been great for about three years (we bought it second hand) but in the last two months it refuses to pick up a great deal of grass - it fills the collector to a third and then starts causing problems. The grass gets caught between the rotars and the case and the engine cuts out. I then have to turn it on it's side and clean it out and then start it...every 10 feet or so!! If I take the grass collector off the back then it works better. I've checked that the mesh of the collector is still 'porous' because I'm assuming it has to be to get the 'hoover effect' but I can't see what else might be wrong. It's as if the motor isn't producing enough power to cut, move along and blow the grass into the collector all at once. Any ideas anyone? Cheers, Crom |
