Thank you! I bought a new belt, I was about to buy new pulleys, but I knew it had to be something else. I saw your little piece of wood and I was like no way that’d be my issue. I was already laying under the mower and instantly looked up and saw a piece of wood there! Nice work!

Thank You! Had the same problem this afternoon. The belt was around the transmission and all the pullies but was not turning. After taking the mower out and looked underneath, I saw the belt slipped out of the pully on the motor! Put it back and all is good!

Nice VJO, had the same problem lost cotter pin and I did not have a new one small enough to fit it either! it was fine for a while but then stopped moving fwd or rev....I don;t think I am going to have as EZ a fix as you did but you never know that was a great find!!!! So grass is over a foot tall, got a new deck belt for the backup LT1000 cut about a 100' and hit something and ripped the spindeleoff the deck......so now I have to fox the orange girl......

@RealManSkills10 ай бұрын
Haven't worked with Kawasaki much, but most carb linkages have a screw to turn in or out accordingly. Another option is the governor spring attached to a metal tab that can be bent up or down accordingly.
@jaxturner72889 ай бұрын
Your owners manual (available online) will show you. It’s the easiest and most obvious adjustment you will find on it using a Philips screwdriver. Do not adjust the governor linkage. (8mm bolts with locknuts).

First of all, there is a square key between the rim and rear axle on both rear tires. Make sure those square keys are in place. If so, you might have a bad transaxle. Replaceable, but expensive.
