I was given a rescue mower by a friend and it runs well after cleaning some ethanol fungus out of the carb. Model 917.37758 with Honda GCV 160A GJAEA engine. Problem is that even with a sharp blade, it slides over the grass instead of cutting it especially on the left side when mulching. The engine runs fairly slow, but if I speed it up, then the self propelled drive would be too fast. I wonder if there is a blade with more lift available?

Don't get mad, but are you sure the blade is on right? Not upside down?

Blade is not upside down. Will look into Gator Blade. Thanks for replies.
