Never had a serious problem with a Gravely in 20 yrs...my new Gravely 36" WB tho...
It all started when my throttle cable wouldn't move the choke valve thingy out of the closed/choke position.
Ok, I just manually opened the valve, and left it there...never really needed to choke it anyway.
Now, the thing wont run with the valve in the Open position...it will only run when I close the choke/valve. I had to run all day with the mower choked, and sputtering...but, I got through the day. God knows if this is doing any damage.
Also, my throttle cable seems to stick now, or...when I try to move the throttle, it pops right back up to the top position.
I got 2 days before I need it again, so if anyone has any idea what's happening here....there's a Margarita & Taco Dinner waiting in San Antonio for you.
I'll throw in a Mariachi band too...but, you'll have to eat on your own...
