Honda HRX217HYA Drive Clutch Cable Adjustment | Mower would not go Fast 💨 

Your advice & demo is spot on sir. Noticed my 2016 HRX217 with 173.5 hrs. on it was mowing slower than usual this season. So I tested my mower, it wouldn't engage on first click but did engage on second click & so on. I adjusted the cable nut like, you showed, about 2 to 3 revolutions (¼" or less) & it did the trick! Now it moves on 1st click & runs quite well (very fast) on full open clicks. Thank you!

My lawnmower was going so slow even at full speed and now I can't even use the fast mode because I'm running after it. Thanks so much for the quick fix!

Thank you. Very helpful. Took care of my slow hydrostatic.

Bought the HRX217 7 years and change ago.. it was slow from the beginning!! This past mowing season it got really slow and i thought it was a bad transmission. I just found your video and sure enough it was just slack in the cable. I can’t believe I’ve been mowing slow for 7 years! 😂. Thank you for the video!

I just got a HRX 537 (non US version of the 217) as a throw away. Other than needing a full service etc. the mower was good except it moved really slowly. Using your instructions, I went from 4 clicks back to 1. Top speed is now pretty fast. Thank you.

Thanks. I just adjusted mine and it needed it. The other day I was thinking the mower had gone faster.

Thank you, great video. Nice close ups of which way to move the upper nut.

Thanks so much for posting this mate, helped me out! 🙌

Thanks mate! Was really helpful!

Thanks! easy to do video!

Thanks! Now I can run!

Gracias, es justo lo que necesitaba saber, saludos.

Thanks, Pal!

Thanks!! For the the info. I just adjusted mine. I have 2 but one I did it all the way up to the plastic piece. (Only way I got it to go fast) I wonder if I need a new cable

once again Honda over engineers something that should be easy. But thanks for the video. This will help me!

I had the same problem with my Honda dealer. My mower had slowed down considerably over what it was when I first purchased it. No problem they said. What the heck?! I could’ve pushed that heavy deck faster than the transmission was going. What’s with Honda dealers?! Thanks for your video!

If you loosen the handle and put it towards the motor, it’s a lot easier to work on that adjustment

the other cable adjustment is for easier cold starts

youll never want it to go that slow tho , nor too fast ,, ,,but do not tighten it till you get it where you want

Do you test the lawnmower with the grass bag on or off?

Why you ask your drug dealer if your mower working right drug dealer don’t know shit

Now's the time to buy another used snowblower and fix it up.

It’s better to position camera where you can see what your doing or show where your adjusting the wire couldn’t see where or what you were doing redu video but different angle

Can’t see anything
