UPDATE: I checked the routing of both drive belts. Everything is good. I adjusted the lower drive belt tensioner, all the way in, middle, all the way out. No change in the speed. Only difference I noticed is the pressure needed to press the pedal.
Upon looking at the VSP I saw it was shiny on the top and bottom. So I’m thinking maybe the new belt that I installed is a little taller than the OEM belt and was restricting the belt travel. So, now that I’m good at this, I removed the belts and installed the original belts. Test ran and it seems maybe a litttttttllllleeeee bit faster but still not as fast as I remember.
Disclaimer- I haven’t drove this thing in almost a month and in the interim I have mowed my Dads lawn with his very fast mower 3 times. So maybe I am misremembering how fast this thing actually is in comparison to my Dads.
Anyway, I adjusted the belt tensioner out, middle, and all the way in with the original belts installed and test ran in all settings. Still doesn’t seem right.
Anything I should be looking at? Getting ready to set this thing on fire and cover my lawn in asphalt.
