I have an ex mark E series with a FS 600v
the engine has 1200 hours. The engine bogs down when i engage the blades, it takes about 5 seconds to recover to full rpms. The engine seems to bog down easily in tall grass. It seems like it has no power/tourque. Cylinders have 90
psi compression. It start very easily and runs fine, but it sound from the muffler is like it's running on one cylinder. Both cylinders are firing, plugs are new and firing. It does not smoke or burn oil. Total engine time is 1200.
Anyone have any ideas why it has no power??
Is it just worn out?

An engine with 1200 hours that doesn’t smoke or burn oil, has likely been well taken care of. I wouldn’t suspect is as being worn out. Based on your comments, there could be a restriction in the muffler. Or, my attention would turn to the governor. It may have some wear to a component internally, such as the ball guide or plate that covers the weights. The weights may be starting to groove the plate and are starting to get hung up in the groove.
