Electric lawnmower blues

[Bushwacker]

If the motor doesn't get to full speed, it gets to about ¾ speed, and intermittendly will go to full speed for a split second. Could it be the starting cap.
I hav'nt got a spare cap to test with, so if anyone know the answer it will be greatly appreciated

That would be my guess as well. Hoe oud is die grassnyer?

[Bushwacker]

Seker al 15 jaar, Southern cross Champion 1800w

[CasKru]

Borsels op die motor?

[Bushwacker]

Ek glo nie die goed het borsels nie Cassie

[CasKru]

gebruik hy darem floss?

[hentey]

Pieta dis nie die starting cap nie,anders sou dit nie start nie.Klink vir my meer na n internal short wat n gedeelte van die windings uitskakel en so doende nie volspoed loop nie.As jy n ampmeter het kyk wat die running amps is,kan ook die buste/bearings wees.armature sleep dalk.Kan enigiets wees man bring die ding hier laat ek kyk.
Ek wonner of jy nie dalk more erens wil gaan speel nie,en swambo wil he jy moet gras sny..............maar Piet het n lang plan

Guys please... have you read the forum rules? :evil: How low are you going to sink... :wth: discussing an electric lawn mower on a 4x4 forum... :roll: geesh the nerve... it would have passed had it been petrol or diesel... :| but electric... sies manne! Next we'll have old ladies discussed knitting patterns and false teeth... ag neeeeeeee!

Oh by the way... sounds like the brushes or cap, had the same issue on my dads mower turned out to be the cap...

Moral of the story... get a Briggs & Stratton... 6HP IC engine! Gooi petrol and mow!

Soos Hentey se, as dit die cap is sal hy nie start nie. My grasnyer se cap is daarmee heen, so as ek hom moet start draai ek die lem eers met die hand dat die motor net momentum kry en dan skakel ek hom aan. Dan loop hy vol spoed sonder 'n probleem.

Klink vir my jou probleem is eerder die borsels, omdat hy amper klaar is maak hy nou kontak en netnou nie. Dit is hoekom hy soms werk en soms nie. Haal die cover af en sit hom aan, as daar baie sparks in die borsel omgewing is, is dit dit.

Tyd vir 'n diesel grassnyer vir Swambo nou

Is daar nie skaapboere in die Vryheid distrik nie? So hanslammertjie of twee sal die gras mooi kort hou en ook terselftertyd sorg vir die bemesting.

[Bushwacker]

Nee-wat, te ver van die Vrystaaaaat af

Al wat ek jou nog wil se Piet is dat die goed nie eintlik koste effektief herstel kan word nie.Die manne praat deesdae van one way appliances, wat maar beteken jy gooi weg en koop n nuwe.Bly net weg van n breek en staan(Briggs$Stratton) want daai goed laat jou vloek,en swets,en later huil van moerrigheid.

[Mud Dog]

Rich, .... are you serious :wth: you don't fertilise in autum :!:

Let her cut pro re nata (as required)

Sorry bru, I was taking the Mickey, as in................

What's wrong with you guys Why are we talking lawnmowers on the Hilux site :roll: :roll: :shifty: :wth:

[Mud Dog]

Rich, it's like this ..... we can't tinker with our Lux's or participate on the forum at will, without being accused of neglect, etc. So, we have to keep her busy, and if the mower is broken she has more time on her hands to harrass us ....... :roll:

..... or maybe it's a 4x4 mower ??? :D

What your lawnmower requires is one case of beer, a bottle of brandy, 4 liters of coke and some meat, invite your friends around for a braai and then you can discuss what is wrong with it, have a look at the trigger there are these two small buttons, maybe they are giving you the problem.

If you do not know, just take it to a lawnmower business and ask them to give you a quote, if you think it is too high, take it back home, leave it on the pavemunt and hope it gets stolen while you are inside getting a cooldrink, when you come out it will be gone, then contact the people that you have to.

This is why I have three lawnmowers, one for the wife to use, one for me to use and one spare, then if the one breaks down while she is cutting the lawn in the garden, I am busy cutting the lawn on the pavemunt, if one breaks she does not have an excuse, even got tow Stihl edge trimmers FS 400's.

Well that is that

Ek dink die snyer gaan Hilux se naam sleg maak.
Ek sien Revo v Zyl is nou lid van die LC forum. Ek het hom 'n PM gestuur om hier te kom inloer. Hy het ook mos 'n Lux.
Waneer gaan ry ons weer?

Heard about the new lawn mowers that run on water.


Called a lawn mooo-er

Piet

I have a buddy that had a lawnmower repair shop. He said that there is usually 3 things that causes Electric mowers to run slow. Either the armature is on its way out, the brushes finished or the bearings are busy seizing.
