I never told him to throw away anything. He can can do as he pleases. I simply told him my experiences with Honda mowers and what I did with the mowers. The Facts are nobody seems have the answer or the fix, people have posted they took them back to the dealers and all they have done is scratch there heads, talked to Honda Reps. only to have them do the same. The thing is and I said in the last post the Honda lovers may not like what I have to say on the subject but the number of threads and complaints about this problem is proof in it self.
From what I read from a few of your posts is you have a bias against honda mowers in general. But here is the deal they are good mowers they get lots of good reviews people use them everyday all day with no problems. There is a service bulletin about this problem and I'm sure that a proper dealer can fix there are only so many things it could be. You have a habit of bashing this brand and its a little annoying. These are quality machines they are not commercial grade but dam close and they last a long time. And they cost less than commercial grade and I think that's your bias.
my honda hrr is a simple machine and I love it less parts and features mean less things that can go wrong. And when something goes wrong its a fraction of the price to fix than a similar problem with a commercial grade. These machines properly maintained will last as long if not longer than a commercial mower. User error seems to be the biggest problem with machinery because they don't know how to maintain and identify potential problems and deal with them. They don't know how to source there information and therefore cannot take care of this machine.
You have also said before that my160cc engine is under powered? I believe your full of it commercial machines have used less than that amount of power for a long time kawi 5.5 hp engine has about the same power. Torque is another story it might have a little less torque but honda makes up for that with their double blade cuts. If again people would realize you can't just push through a foot of wet grass and expect miracles then that problem wouldn't exist.
The point of this is that you are bashing a brand that has made a name for it self good quality for less money so people will buy them and people will break them. And when something is wrong like a factory defect in the transmission honda will fix or replace assuming people don't go messing around under there. And they are going to have to deal with the steps involved in this process. The dealer will look and be confused call honda. Honda will give them a few things to try. They won't work they call honda and this proves to honda that it is in fact a factory problem and sends a new transmission or in some cases a new machine... so you don't have a right to come on here and bash something people love and care for because you don't like them.
Don't have anything nice to say? Don't say it.
