So my B7800 has a series of in-line kill switches designed for my safety. One of them is on the HST pedal, in such a way that if the pedal doesn't return to 'center' when you foot comes off, the tractor will either turn off or won't start after it's been off.
Generally hasn't been a problem until lately...I keep the pedal greased and clean so it 'centers' normally. Was really a weird deal when this first started happening until someone here at TBN explained it to me. The only mention of kill switches in the [really crappy] owners' manual is in regards to the PTO lever.
Yesterday it started 'dying' every time I would get off, and also was really hard to start. Couldn't find the center easily. Actually would turn the key to 'ON' and feather the pedal until it started. Would take 3-5 minutes each time.
NOT COOL.
Do any of you know if there's a way to adjust this switch, or is it just probably a bad switch? I don't have a trailer so will have to pay for a visit if the dealer takes care of it...even if still under warranty, I bet. (18 months, 140 hours...)
Thanks in advance for any advice.
