Been having mixed feelings about this mower. Yes, it's awesome, very powerful, mulches better than any mower I've ever used, etc etc -- when working. First weekend it spewed out gas from the air filter when I tried to start it the second time ever (let it sit, eventually started. Must have flooded it somehow and figured it was a fluke).
Now second weekend, the clutch lever is sticking. When I release it, the lever sticks in the engaged position and sometimes takes 3-6 seconds to slowly releases itself, sometimes not even at all. Really caught me off-guard the first time it happened and required me to pull the lever to release it for the rest of the yard. I have searched online and can't find other related posts, nor is there any mention of this being adjustable in the owners manual. I don't see any opportunity for adjustment on the mower itself, either. Looking at a Honda video on youtube, the clutch lever clearly springs back down in the disengaged position immediately after it's released.
Purchased the unit from Home Depot. I'd rather not have to mess with taking it back to exchange for another, but that may be my next step if there isn't another fix y'all can suggest.
