First of all, never EVER mow wearing flip-flops. That's just asking to lose prescious appendages.
I'm having the same problem. Tried to use my brand new mower for the first time this morning and it won't stay running. I seem to be finding a common theme in all of these. The automatic choke system just keeps cycling and the engine will never run at full throttle.
At least you got to use yours. Tried to use it for the first time this morning and the engine just won't stay running. I can't mow my lawn with a brand new mower that is the most expensive I've ever purchased.
Well, at least you got to use yours. Tried to use mine for the first time this morning and the thing won't stay running. I got it because of the Honda engine, but so far - I'm not impressed. I can't use the brand new mower I just bought which is, btw, the most expensive mower I've ever purchased.
Same problem with the HU700F. Just bought it in June and tried to use it this morning. The ACS keeps cycling the choke in an effort to keep the engine running, but it's not keeping up. Engine idles low, won't run to full throttle. Cannot mow my lawn with a brand new mower that is the most expensive I have ever purchased.
