I just bought this mower from Lowes. It was a left over model and I got a killer deal on it. Its not working correctly but it was such a good deal I decided to buy it and try to fix it. It only has .6 hours on it.
They said it was stored inside over the winter but it looks a little weathered.
The problem is this.
It starts up fine. The idle fluctuates a little but Im guessing thats just due to old gas. I probably should've drained it out but I threw in some fresh gas to dilute it. All is well until I either disengage the parking lever or engage the blades. I have seen many other people asking the same question but not really any answers.
Can you guys please help me? I dont want to pay tons of money to a John Deere service department.
So far all I have tried is bypassing the seat switch with a jumper wire. Nothing changed.
