Hi there,
Looking for some ideas really as I'm scratching my head a bit with this problem. The back story is the GR has been fine for since I bought it in 2019, but has developed a problem in the last few months. When mowing our garden (about 1 acre, regular lawn) it's fine for about 20 minutes, but then starts to lose power, so much so that if I keep the mower engaged it will stall. It will restart, and will just about run without the mower engaged, but it runs really rough, misfiring etc. I tend to stop at this point and come back later.
Things I've done to try and resolve:
- Replaced air filter element
- Replaced complete fuel filter (not just the element)
- Checked all fluid levels (coolant/engine oil)
When it's not misbehaving it runs sweet, no smoke other than a little puff on startup, and nothing else to note even when mowing at full power. It's a 2011 model I think but only has approx 380 hours on it.
Any ideas welcomed, I'm quite happy to do work myself but struggling to think where to look next!
Thanks
George
