Hi, I bought a new Huqvarna mower in May. I've only used it a handful of times, as it's been pretty dry this summer. It ran OK at first, but I noticed it starting stalling frequently after using it a couple times. The problem seemed to be the air filter, because as soon as I removed the filter and started it back up, it ran like a champ.
I bought a new air filter today and replaced it. With the brand new air filter, it would not start. Now, when I remove the filter, it will run for a couple seconds and then stall out. The only other things I changed are that I added more gas and checked the oil. Soo.. I'm pretty much stuck at this point. I tried following the instructions for a flooded engine but haven't got it to run for more than 5 seconds. Any ideas??
Thanks,
Andrew
I have a puzzle: Rear wheels drive, but not the front wheels. The machine is about 4 years old. About a year ago, it started making an annoying noise that sounds like rushing air (best approximation), paired with engaged drive. I thought it was just debris in the belt channel, so I hosed it out and thought it got slightly better. I realize, now, I should have pulled the cover off and checked the belt, but I am a busy guy (lame, I know). Even now, I'm dressed for work, and though I'd like to pull it apart, I don't have the time. So, I'm puzzling it out in my mind. I expect the answer will be clear when I get to that, and I'll share it then, but anyone who'd like to pose a guess will be welcome.
I have a HU725AWD bought it about 6 months ago. Yesterday the traction belt fell off the pulleys and made a nice screaming sound along with smoke. Pulling the covers off i found the belt to be off the pulleys. I put it back together and adjusted the cable all the way and tried it again just to watch the belt fall off again. Very frustrated right now! I have had other mower go 4-5 years and never have a belt issue. So my question is? Do you only get months out a belt with Husqvarna? If so i wish i would have known that before i bought it. Thanks
This mower has a bag, but I don't always want to use it as it fills up too quickly and makes your hands a mess constantly dumping it.
Without using it, the bag door springs shut and grass has no where to go, and will just clump up and stall the mower out, especially when grass is wet which is normal this time of year in Florida.
Even if I was able to prop the door open, it is in the back of the mower and grass would shoot directly at you while mowing.
Please tell me there is some attachment/chute that connects where the bag would go and shoot grass out to the side!?! I almost at the point where I will have to get a different mower. Thanks!
