Hi Simon Nice vacs, probably got metal fatigue from all that travelling etc...lol Seriously, when the vac is in the upright position & switched off, if you move the handle up and down can you feel/hear the drive cable wire moving / engaging etc?? When you switch on, press handle release with foot, and pull on the handle, pulling the machine to you, does it move easy in drive?? Does the handle move forward when switched on pushing the machine forward, is it engaging?? Does the machine work in neutal (forwards & backwards)when pressing on the disengage button?? If the motor powers on and it moves (rather heavily) in neutal (disengaged button pressed)and in reverse with powerdrive it could be a minor adjustment to cable connector nut, where cable attaches to the power unit.. Thats as much as I`ve done on mine, over to the experts from this point on...I`ve got the schematics if you need them but no repair instructions.. Cheers, Mike | ||
