My lawnmower was going so slow even at full speed and now I can't even use the fast mode because I'm running after it. Thanks so much for the quick fix!
Bought the HRX217 7 years and change ago.. it was slow from the beginning!! This past mowing season it got really slow and i thought it was a bad transmission. I just found your video and sure enough it was just slack in the cable. I canât believe Iâve been mowing slow for 7 years! đ. Thank you for the video!
Your advice & demo is spot on sir. Noticed my 2016 HRX217 with 173.5 hrs. on it was mowing slower than usual this season. So I tested my mower, it wouldn't engage on first click but did engage on second click & so on. I adjusted the cable nut like, you showed, about 2 to 3 revolutions (Œ" or less) & it did the trick! Now it moves on 1st click & runs quite well (very fast) on full open clicks. Thank you!
I just got a HRX 537 (non US version of the 217) as a throw away. Other than needing a full service etc. the mower was good except it moved really slowly. Using your instructions, I went from 4 clicks back to 1. Top speed is now pretty fast. Thank you.
I had the same problem with my Honda dealer. My mower had slowed down considerably over what it was when I first purchased it. No problem they said. What the heck?! I couldâve pushed that heavy deck faster than the transmission was going. Whatâs with Honda dealers?! Thanks for your video!
Thanks!! For the the info. I just adjusted mine. I have 2 but one I did it all the way up to the plastic piece. (Only way I got it to go fast) I wonder if I need a new cable
Itâs better to position camera where you can see what your doing or show where your adjusting the wire couldnât see where or what you were doing redu video but different angle

If you loosen the handle and put it towards the motor, itâs a lot easier to work on that adjustment
Good to know thanks
once again Honda over engineers something that should be easy. But thanks for the video. This will help me!

Itâs better to position camera where you can see what your doing or show where your adjusting the wire couldnât see where or what you were doing redu video but different angle
Thanks. I gave up CZcams lol.
Do you test the lawnmower with the grass bag on or off?
@@DianeCurtis-y6m off but it shouldnât really matter. I donât use my bag honestly
Now's the time to buy another used snowblower and fix it up.
Yes. If I see Honda cheap Iâll buy lol
