Hello everyone,
I hope this is the right place to post this thread. One of my Exmark Lazer Z mowers today has gotten really sluggish in it's performance.
It was running fine. Then I stopped for a few minutes, turning the mower off, to move some debris out of my path. When I went to start the mower, it was really hard to start, was backfiring, and running rough.
I checked the air filter, fuel filter - Seem OK, not sure how to test the fuel filter. I can blow through it...
Replaced the spark plugs. That helped some, but not nearly enough.
Hydrolic oil is full - no leaks. Oil level is OK
The engine runs OK at idle. When I go uphill with PTO on, it bogs down. Even going up hill without PTO on, it bogs down. It has lost it's giddy up.
Any suggestions for what to try next?
Thanks
Gary
