I had the same problem and took it into my dealer, Robert at Garden Machinery in Hamilton. I was the throttle cable adjuster at the handle that needed adjusted. Two minute job. The other option apparently it the drive belt slipping.
Thanks Graham, great advice. I'll check the cable tomorrow and hope it's that!
If you take it in then get them to take apart and check the idler pulley system, mine was absolutely mashed, the splined shaft was all chewed up which wouldn't allow the pulley halves to slide up and down leading to belt slippage.
Trouble is, it took 6 belts being knackered for the dealer to admit there was a fault with it.
Take any slack out of the cable first, then take the cover off the mower and check the cable is pulling the lever on the gearbox and check condition of the belts while you're there.
Many thanks John. Will take a good look this weekend!
Have you checked chain if it has one
Hi All
I thought I'd bump this thread back up. I thought my model was running a little slow, too. Then, before I'd had a chance of a good look, it stopped altogether. The attachment of the cable at the drive handle had come off, cable was loose and frayed. It's hard to see what part is missing as I don't have a picture to go on but It's clearly going to need a new cable. I'll probably give it to the dealer as the cable was replaced on it's winter service. I just wondered how everyone else is doing with the Weibang?
