Hi
My HDJ80 has developed a nasty habit. It started when we had the snow, and I hoped it would go away when it warmed up. It hasnt...
At start up it revs at 1800rpm, once it has warmed up this settles down to about 1000rpm and appears to be normal. This takes about 10 -15 minutes and seems to coincide with the oil temperature coming up to operating temperature.
The serious part of the problem, is that from start up I can be doing 40mph in 4 seconds without touching the accelerator. So I am having to use the brakes and intermittently drop her into neutral, just to get down the road without mowing every thing flat...
Any tips on where I can fine the gizmo that does this will be appreciated.
Or anyone fancy a race from start up without touching the accerator...
