I have a Ferris Evolution with a 48" deck powered by a Kawasaki 27 hp engine. I have owned this machine for three years and have overcome shredding deck belt issues during the first year and now have a problem that has me scratching my head. They tell you to run the engine at full throttle when mowing and that used to work great until recently. The engine starts, powers up and mows great but as I mow, the throttle speed continues to decline, literally. If I move the throttle lever back to full throttle, engine speed goes up as normal but it continues to decline as I mow. I have checked the throttle cable and it is tight to the engine so my movement is not due to a loose cable and the cable spring, at the engine, appears to be installed the only way it could be (no additional adjustment holes to either increase or decrease tension).
Has anyone ever run across a problem like this? I am beginning to wonder if the throttle at the control station has a spring or resistance setting that has become loose or worn. This machine has right around 200 hours and short of a bungie cord I do want to make a repair but a proper one.
Any suggestions?
