The pumps have never been worked on or replaced. Control on start up from a dead stop the machine is jerky. I use full throtle when starting from a dead stop. Once I get going everything else is smooth. Turns are a ok. Steering bars are even when stopped. Is this a sign of pump failure? Other than the operator, what causes a jerky start. Only 2 people have ever driven this machine. I cut 5 yards a week all in the neighborhood. The only major work done to it was last year when I replaced the clutch in the rear of the mower that engages the mule belt & the other one. Is there a adjustment for the pumps? Is there a adjustment for the control levers? Could a low resivor of hydro fluid cause a jerky start? Any help is appreciated. Thanks. von.
