Another month, another issue I want to get clarification on!
My 1999 TG1860G recently started to have an issue where it would start up fine and mow okay for 15-20 minutes. However after that it may begin to inconsistently start to sputter and lose lots of power. RPM would struggle to climb and sometimes if I turned off the PTO and re-engaged it, it would die. Usually though if I disengaged the PTO and let it idle for a few minutes then issues would clear until it goes under load again.
I have a feeling this could be a cooling issue but I am not super sure. I was gonna flush the cooling system and soak that radiator. When I was running it, the crankcase was 200 degrees, the head was 190 degrees, the carb as 150 degrees. FD590V-AS08 engine.
Also I am losing reverse and it feels like the HST is slipping because it pulsates quickly but weakly and moves slowly. I got stuck on a hill trying to back up while mowing!
