Does anyone know why my argo no longer will use the compression from the engine to hold itself back while going down hill? until recently when I went down a steep hill I would just give the throttle a little bit of gas, just enough to raise the RPM's above idle and the compression would hold the machine back with no braking while even the steepest of hills were descended. Now the argo just picks up speed and I have to use the brakes to hold it back. Otherwise the machine is working normally. Any ideas? Thanks Phill |

I always found i had use a substantial amount of throttle to get any compression braking. |

Thanks Chuck But I guess I should have said that no matter where I set the throttle, I don't get the compression braking I did before. |
