husqvarna Royal 48S auto walk (self propelled) trouble

[giuseppe105]

The title is my problem. Some more detail in the matter. It will walk but you need to pull the lever past its stopping point and then give the mower a push and it will start to walk. I looked underneath it and has an assistant pull the lever everything looks fine. I think i might need to shorten the tension wire just a bit. But I'm unsure of how to shorten the tension wire and if this is even the problem. A second opinion would be great. Thanks

EDIT:
I forgot to mention that once the leaver was pulled all the way i could still pull the thing it pulls back more, with my hand.

You may need a new belt if you can't take up the the tension wire or shorten it. look for ajustment on the cable.

K ill take a look and see. I saw lower down in the forums that there is a gear in the drive wheels.

the mower kinda pulls then stops then pulls then stops.

Then it could be the in the drive wheel(s) gear(s) if they don't have a belt.

Sorry to be replying so late... I adjusted the tension wire and its working fine now.

The first time i tightened it too much that it was always walking XD. It ran away on me

Edit:

that picture is exactly what under the mower looks like.
