Hey guys, I've been browsing the forums for quite some time now and just decided to create an account. I'm requiring some help with my newly purchased g6200. I am at a total loss here. I have read countless posts and can still not find a solution. I purchased my g6200 with 54" deck for $350 from an older gentlemen because it had been sitting for a total of about 6-8 years. Within that time he had it serviced and tuned up once and yet again parked it. When I bought it the battery was dead and we just left it at that. Took it home, threw a battery in and it started up. I drained fuel, oil, and hydro oil. Changed all filters; oil, hydro, air, and both fuel. I also ran diesel clean and mmo through it. Tank looks to be very clean when I shine a light in it. Now here's my problem. It is a little rough to start but I'm not sure the glow plugs work so I'm not too concerned with that but it is very low on power. When I engage the mower deck, the rpms drop about half and I can only drive about 1-2 mph without it stalling out. I have taken the mower deck off to make sure nothing is hung up and engaged PTO without the deck installed, all is well. While it is chugging, it is blowing a decent amount of black smoke, but nothing I wouldn't expect for how hard the engine is working. Does anybody have any idea what could be the problem here?

You could have the results of years of setting with old diesel fuel. Sounds like you have replaced all components of service, or I would guess a choked up air filter.

I'd continue running some injector cleaner and just use it as much as you can. It may clear up with use.

Welcome to the forum. Report back how it goes and what the solution is.
