My Husqvarna lawn tractor/mower (YTH2042T-960450002) has significantly reduced power. It does not have its usual speed in the same circumstances and will not go up the same slight inclines that it used to handle with ease - actually it used to easily go up greater inclines - now slight inclines present a problem - slows and stops. Blade still engages. It has a Kohler Courage 20 engine. Oil fine, air filter fine. I think it is about 12+ years old.
I thought it might be the drive belt (maybe old and slipping) so I changed that out but it still lacks power. The only other thing I can think of to add is that when I back off the pedal and reengage I have just a bit more power but only for a brief moment - not unlike my Kubota hydrostatic tractor.
Looking for help. Any suggestions?
