Has a verdict been reached ? If not , is it still within the warranty period ?

JD X350 with 180 hrs. running so bad while mowing i didn't think it would make it back to the shop . Pulled original plugs and replaced with what the Auto supplier referenced the NGK to Champion that I ask for . I;ve never had a engine start so fast when the 1st piston went to compression .

If you've failed to maintain the under side as i do and it's dried , mow wet grass for a couple hours to soak the dry then a water hose with a good multi - pattern nozzle works well to clean the under side . I avoid dirt , sand and rocks . That's the job of the string trimmer .

Hopefully that shop won't be in business very long .

I believe that Bad Boy has a elect. operated fuel valve at the carburetor . Those sometimes click when the key is turned to on and off .

???????????????????????????????????????

Have you determined what the fix is ? Thanks

Thanks for the encouragement for the OP . Everyone could use a little of that , even Seniorcitizen.

You make yourself a L shaped Gauge of 3/4 X 1" pine with a strip of styrofoam attached to one edge . Park on a flat surface to heck , not to be confused with level , and the blade will mark the styrofoam . Put a felt tip pen mark on the first if you would like to check deck level .

Load test the battery

On my end It's much better than it was a week ago .

If it still mows grass keep searching for a pre-owned deck while using the one you have . A thought : let it be known at a few mower repair shops you want a pre owned deck in good condition .

Push mower built from 5 different mowers . Long before string trimmers and those weren't needed with this mower . It would suck tall grass / weeds from a fence . The only part new was the blade . The reason it worked so well was the deck was a donut looker , the blade missed the deck edge by...

I believe we better hope neither of those spark test methods are designated for anyone with a heart condition .

Use a paint filter to keep June bugs etc. from ever entering the tank . NAPA auto supplier has those .

Personal experience when i forgot to screw the the stupid dip stick in that by design just sets on the tube to check oil level . In < 5 minutes makes 1 hellofahmess .

I refuse to spend the remaining few years of my life waiting for a site to open .

I had a thought on mine because others doing the same . it idles normal when first started but increase idle speed later . Some piece of that idle system is growing longer as the heat increases . Which could it be .

My X-350 does exactly the same as the . The screw that appears to adjust idle does nothing . It looks as if i'll be looking for a service manual .

I am guessing the problem , when fixed under warranty by their repairman , was never discussed ?

I'll be getting a flap grinder for my Makita .

A 9" Rt angle grinder will sharpen a blade faster than a 4" .

Do you use an abrasive for steel { if there is one for steel } or the one for wood ?

Those using the bench grinder need to dress the stone occasionally to keep it sharp . Those stones that are hardest need to be dressed more often than a softer stone . So why don't we dress the Rt angle grinder . Because of the manufacturing process that dressing isn't needed . It's a...

I use vise grips for some things but not to mechanic . That's why i keep my 6" Ridgid pipe wrench around .

Any mower i buy with a baffle for each blade , those baffles get removed so clippings are dispersed evenly . Attempting to make a mulching deck discharge evenly is a failure .

Date joined really doesn't benefit me , but the date of each post would .

Don't turn around on a dime , enlarge the circle to about silver dollar size until you find a solution .

I've never had the problem but read that sometimes talcum powder or any powder on the belts help until the too tight belts wear some .
