G"day,
i bought it up at the first service and the shop i bought it from tried telling me 'its perfectly fine and thats how it should be' i then went to the engine and took out the air filter, wiped a finger full of dust strait out of the inlet manifold and replied "you have just lost a customer". so as promised i haven't been back since. (although they are not my normal mower shop anyway). so anyway when i got home i placed 2 shims under the locking tabs to take out some of the slack and it has been fine since. i have no idea weather its unique to my mower or not but i highly doubt it. in fact i had to do virtually the same thing to my briggs muncher. the problem with the ride on is its a snap on air filter assemble and the ridges that are meant to put pressure on the filter its self to seal it against the body dont, leaving a 2 mm gap for anything to get sucked in.
so i would be interested to see weather anyone else has had the same problem.
regards jay
