Good evening,
After giving up all hope on my HRR216, I bought a new HRX217 earlier this week and went to use it today and it was flawless... for 5 minutes. It started perfectly and while mowing, the mower just shut off with no warning, no surging, no backfire, just shut off. It didn't event act like it was running out of gas, just shut off and wouldn't restart. Oil level is perfect (filled at dealer) and full tank of E0 gas. Key and pull start do not do anything. I bought it from a Honda dealer and did a "test drive" for 2 minutes and it was fine. I am going to take it back to the dealer, but they aren't open until Tuesday. I am hesitant to dig into the fuel system or ignition as it is so new. I will let it cool off tonight and try again tomorrow morning. Could this be an auto choke issue? This is the gcv200 engine btw.
Thanks
Mike
