Weak 1450 -- Help
Posted: Sun Jun 12, 2011 9:11 pm
Folks,
I've got a '79 model 1450 that has just run out of power and seems to be lugging all the time. Everything is free and moves easily with no binding but when you put the mower in gear and move the hydrostatic lever it starts to lug down. RPMs are lower than just last week. I don't know if I have been loosing power over time and it is just now evident to me or it has happened in just the last week. This CC has provided very reliable service and I will do what it takes to get it right and it will be going strong long after I'm gone. I was going to go through the engine this winter after I was through mowing.
What do think I'm looking at? Any help will be appreciated. Thanks.
Bill
