Much like working on a late model car. Trouble hits and people assume a problem with some high tech electronics, might be a loose hose, bad connection, pinched wire, etc.

Turns out my kill switch cable was too loose. It must have been right on the border line given the weird results I was getting. Easy fix. Thanks.

Interesting explanation!

As a professional furnace repairman, one of the major advantages I had over DIYers was the ability to cast an eye over a malfunctioning piece of eq

Another method I used to identify difficult or intermittent problems was to cycle through the problem repeatedly ----many times perhaps, until I could identify or eliminate possible problems.

In the case of this mower, perhaps you could tilt the mower through a 30 degree slope repeatedly to see if the problem repeated itself regularly or intermittently, which might help you identify or eliminate possible problems.

A scientific approach to testing a theory is to test only the theory itself ----not to mix it up with many other possible issues.

It may be useful to think of ways to isolate and test a possible problem to see if you can confirm that as the problem.
