[QUOTE="HermitJim, post: 6420086, member: 119946"] Useful feedback, thank you for taking the time. Looking at the manual for the Chapman FM120, I note that "On some new machines the clutches can ‘stick’ on idle, before the clutch linings bed-in & hence will operate before the normal clutch cut-in point. This is not a fault with the clutch or machine - after approximately 1-2 hours use the clutch will operate normally." Having said which, sticking in idle for an hour or two is rather different from setting belts alight in ten minutes! The Briggs and Stratton 420cc engine on my mower is also just rated at 13.5Hp, which from what you're saying sounds like it's way underpowered for the job. I did look at the Chapman site while I was searching to buy but have to confess I moved on because you don't publish prices, which, rightly or wrongly, always makes me a little wary. Would you have a pricelist anywhere? Looks like I might be back in the market in the near future! Thanks again for your help. [/QUOTE]
