Hello all, I am hoping there is someone out there that can shed some light on an issue that I have been having with my Honda. First, I bought it a month ago and after two cuts the cruise control began to die on me. When at full throttle it would only creep along and would barely move. basically making this a push mower with no cruise control help. Anyone that owns a Honda knows they are quite heavy to push without the cruise. Anyway, so I was really bummed after paying $850 for a push mower, expecting nothing but the best from Honda only to find myself taking it in for repairs after two cuts. My lawn is only a 1/3 acre. The problem was fixed under warranty. The fix from the Honda dealership was "Found top seal leaking, remove and replaced seals, performed trans flush and reinstalled trans. Adjust and test operation." However, I am not sure it is completely fixed. When at full throttle it makes a rumbling chain like rattle sound. I am not sure if this is normal since this is my first Honda mower. Also the first two or three notches on the cruise throttle don't even make the tires spin. Not until the you move it to the fourth notch do the tires begin to move. Again is this normal? Anyone with a Honda mower please give me some feedback on the HST cruise system and how it works for you and the sounds it makes when engaged. Thank You!
