Just had the drive belt replaced on my Evolution Fastcut 36.
Technician noted that drive was sticky in forward, but didn't do anything about it as I was desperate to get the thing back into operation.
A bit of back story there ... I'd booked it in for a belt replacement only in November last year and was told "4-6 weeks wait - we'll call you". I called into the shop in April to check where they were at and noted that my servoce card was about 12 0r 14 from the top, asked for it to be expedited. Called in again a week ago and berated them for a complete lack of concern, quoted dates etc and got it picked up on a Thursday, returned the next Tuesday ... seems I was being fed bulldust all along!
Anyway ... The question is - How can I stop the damned thing from running on in forward, taking off at full speed even with foot off the pedal, and requiring use of the foot "emergency" brake to stop it? I've oiled the linkages but that makes no difference.
