Hi folks. My first post ... sorry its a problem
Im hoping for some advice please. I have a Honda Izy HRG536 VKEA (variable speed/paddle on handle bar). I am struggling with the dreaded wheel lock when pulling back. I have disconnected the clutch cable (attached to smart drive paddle on handlebar) in case it wasnt releasing properly but that has made no difference. Ive also greased up the little key and the bearings.
I have done lots of research, seen lots of videos and it seems the bushes seizing up on the axle shaft (shaft across the rear connecting the wheels) are the common problem.
Has anyone come up with a permanent fix for this or is it still case of stripping it down and regular lubrication of the bushes??
Has anyone found a lubricant that works well for this??
Lastly .... Is it just the variable speed/smart drive Honda mowers that are affected with this problem. Does the single speed (ie not smart mow paddle controlled) Izy suffer also?
