I've got an HRC2163HXA that's about 10 years old. My kids have used it to do 3-5 lawns per week all summer for the past two years. The Honda dealer services it every year at the beginning of the season.
In the past couple of weeks it's had a hard time keeping the blades spinning. They would spin up but stop the moment they hit grass. A ten year old mower with moderately heavy use probably needs a new clutch, right? So now it has a new driven disk, spring, and blade holder to boot.
It's still doing the same thing. As soon as it hits unmowed grass the blades slow down and stop. I backed it off the grass and it spins back up. If you engage the blades and let it set there they will spin for a while, then slow to a stop, then slowly spin back up, then stop.
What's the next logical thing to check? It starts easily on the first pull and seems to run fine.
