Could be an issue with the balde-brake-clutch ("Roto-Stop") or if the engine is not running fast enough; make sure throttle is set to FAST before engaging the blades, and if you have a tachometer, check the engine speed. For the HRR2163VXA, it should run 2950-3100 rpm.



Here are the Roto-Stop lever cable inspection and adjustment, and Roto-Stop clutch/brake inspection:
