Hi Sapper,
bit of penetrene on the pawls and in towards the spring will free it up and with the slots cut in the cup you don't have to worry about the pawls slipping on the cup, they will bite in everytime. If Victa had done this it would have prevented thousands of these machines from being thrown over the back fence in anger. I guess building in a fault is a way of getting people to have to buy another mower
