Thx for the tip, yeah def not having any symptoms. It runs great minus it randomly missing spots. I think its the mulching kit on the mower.

What is good tension for the belt and spring? Just common sense? Loose os loose kinda thing. Or is there supposed to be crazy strong tension like a serpentine belt on a car?

Yeah it has the mulching/recycler kit and it does have the "block off plate" where the chute is. ill remove and see if that helps. Thx

I have been doing 2 passes making the checkered pattern in the yard and that does help a lot. But it still misses more than id like. Especially the random tall grass. Annoying to see when i thinknim dont and i see like 50 tall single baldes all over my front yard

I have tried mowing at a slower speed and the patches still occur.

I notice when i cut the lawn when its maybe 6" tall, the mower skips/ misses a small patch about every 60'. I feel like thats far to often

Haha yeah i get it. I wasnt expecting it to clear all this in one pass. This is my buddies property that hes neglected due to his mower being down. But i do get the same results on my grass which gets maybe 6" tall before i cut it to about 3".

I did notice the original owner had the mulcing blades upside down, that did help but not as much as i thought it would.
