OK - here are the pics of the BedKnife and blade...

After tinkering today I think the issue may be the throttle cable linkage - there seems to be quite a bit of play in it (when I move the throttle handle it doesn't seem to move the throttle linkage by the full range of movement).

Looking at the blade and knife contact - it is definitely contacting 'too much' is my guess..

Any who - feedback welcomed smile
