"The symptoms of a bad diaphragm are similar to other mower problems. Refusal to start or cutting out during running may be the first sign of a problem. The mower may smoke excessively or sound sluggish." |
.....Yes. Thanks .....It could be the diaphragm . Might have to pull it to bits . I re cut the grass this morning using the old 25 y.o. MTD and it ran sweet but being only a rear discharge , its not as good as the side discharge for clogging up and such and it really needs a new one piece blade too . Our grass is literally growing like crazy at the minute and has grown about 150mm since last Monday when the broken down mower stopped .. Either got to sort it out or replace it with a similar one ..We had a fishing trip yesterday so I might start pulling more bits off today after lunch ..Cheers
