We followed your recommendation, and yes, the cable was limiting full throttle, the lever now smoothly increases rpm as it moves forward. At the same time, I also noticed that the fuel filter was installed backwards, against the flow of gasoline. This was the other factor limiting engine...

Thanks! Good to know! Following through with suggestion above to check the cable and using tach to check rpm with my friend by end of the week!

That is another way to describe the problem. On my machine, rpm's are not affected (do not increase), until the last 1/4 of lever travel...

Thank you! I will try this. I don't have a carburetor, it is EFI, but obviously that does not make a difference. Thanks again!

Replaced throttle cable late 2023 mowing season. Problem #1. This year, throttle lever does not increase engine rpm through throttle lever mid-range, not until lever is almost max forward position. Problem #2- On full throttle lever position, engine does not seem to be at max rpm. So, it seems...

Deck is stuck in the high transport mode. Cannot disengage. Foot pedal solidly locked, handle to disengage does not do anything, just flips uselessly. Thanks for any suggestions!

Late last summer I almost bought a new Scag Turf Tiger with 35 hp B&S engine. I'm OK with my late model Scag with Kohler EFI, just wanted more horsepower. I decided not to trade in for the new one as I was concerned about B&S bankruptcy, possible parts and repair issues in the future. Also, why...

Interesting discussion... A year ago I bought a new Turf Tiger II with 61" deck. I was in a hurry as my old Scag needed repairs and it was late Spring and the grass was growing. The local dealer only had the 26 hp Kohler EFI on the lot. I was reluctant to have anything potentially more...

I just bought a set of Scag OEM blades for my new Turf Tiger 61" deck. They have a dull edge, definitely not razor-sharp or sharpened at all. I also noticed that the blades on my new Turf Tiger are not sharp either. Should the dealer have sharpened the blades on the new mower and the additional...

I just bought a new Turf Tiger, had to keep up with the mowing while I wait to hear about my old TT hydraulic issues (another thread on here). I checked the hydraulic oil level with a tape measure, as suggested in the manual. It is 3-1/2" from the bottom of the reservoir; manual reads: it must...

2002 Scag Turf Tiger with 1900 hours. Hydraulic system just serviced at repair shop (oil and filter). Mower running well for 20 hours. Yesterday while just starting to mow, steering failed and I discovered hydraulic oil on the grass under rear of the mower. There was no oil left in the...

My Scag Turf Tiger has 1650 hours and is about 14 years old, Kohler 25 hp Command Pro engine. This spring it started leaking a few drops of oil, even when parked and engine cold. Since then, the oil leak has steadily increased with use to the point oil is almost pooling on the floor. Can someone...
