Sorry I havent checked here in a couple days. It seems like it has been slowly loosing power. It doesn't smoke, burns a little oil, but not excessive. It's not just the mower deck that affects it. Just running it at full throttle & pushing up on the lever to make it move makes it bog down (governor doesnt seem to kick in to give more power).

I will try that, thanks.

Deck is clean of grass, I will check pulleys & idler. Thanks

If it does it just by moving you have other issues. It could be as simple as fuel problem. Dirty filter or clogged line. I would go through the fuel system completely first.

When was the last time the air cleaner was serviced?

Sometimes it's a simple thing that reduces power. On my 125, it was as simple as tightening a clamp on the carb. ( sorry but your carb has a different assembly. They upgraded this older version )

Hmmm, probably last summer. My couple acres has alot of bare spots this year & therefore kicks up alot of dust when mowing. So this very well could be the culprit. Picking up new one today.

If it's dry, grease it up so it's wetter than a Taco Bell fart... :beer2:
