I would be more suspicious of the drive belt. I know from experience a new belt makes a big difference on my machine even if the old belt doesn't look wiped out. |

dont forget they reformulate gasoline every few day's,
whats with this new "nitrogen enriched"crap?
nitrogen is inert, more likely they fluffed the gas up so you dont get a full gallon that you pay for.
yup the gas keeps gettin poorer and poorer ibn quality every day |

todays gas also has a tendancy to soak up moisture so water in the gas is more a problem than ever. Does the engine sound like it is reving up ok ? |
