Above is the link to the mower diagram-
Question: The mower cuts out easily, and appears to be a problem with the
switch lever. One has to pull the switch lever and squeeze hard constantly to
avoid motor shut off. Is there a way to tighten a cable that triggers power? Is
there another adjustment I can make to fix this?
Thank you for your time- I really appreciate your service.

Answer
I do believe this model can be adjusted to pull the flywheel brake stop, and kill switch back further. Now I'm not positive, and the diagram is not real clear for detailed viewing. If it isn't, you can sometimes bend the little tab at the engine back a little so the two connections come apart sooner and does not ground the spark, this will then make the handle not have to come back so far.......Tom
