HR214-HL no low speed

[blademan]

I went to cut the grass today and the low speed did not propel the mower forward. The high speed setting works fine.
Everything else seems to function properly.
Both speeds worked fine when I put the mower away last week.
What should I look for and/or adjust ?

HL? I can't find any reference to a HR214HL. Is that the complete model number?

That said what can happen if it's remotely similar to my shaft drive 3 speed HRA15 is grass clippings can eventually sneak in and build up in and around the shift leaver preventing full range of motion.

Thank you - you nailed it. It was grass and leaf buildup on tne Slow / Fast linkage. Cleaned it out and it runs fine now.
Cannot explain about the model number - HR214 is printed on the label and HL is stamped on in the blank space next to it.

H = Honda
R = Rotary ( walk behind )
21 = 21" cut
4 = 4HP ( CV / CXV / GCV ) 120
HL = 2 SPEED MANUAL GEARBOX

So it is a general export model & not an USA home market as it does not end with A = America
