Westwood T1600 Ride-on troubles.

[Megabytemike]

My T1600 runs well but when cutting deck engaged operates on full power on level ground but loses power on slight uphill slope (1 in 25 @ most) and engine fades unless I ease off accelerator and then it regains power and moves and collects at full power on level and downslope. Always full of fuel, fuel feed , carburettor cleaned and filters renewed. Any suggestions please guys ???

Too much of a load for the hydrostatic?

Thanks, will have that checked. Oil changed recently but problem occurred since.

First test is pull each spark plug cap off in turn when engine running. Ensure it’s actually running on both cylinders. Often you can’t tell if only running on one
