In June of this year I purchased the Husqvarna 7021p gas mower. Having had bad luck with just about every mower, I figured I'd try something new. I've heard good things about the Honda engine, I like the larger rear wheels as I have rough uneven ground, and the things I read online seemed to point to this model.
Well, three uses into this new model, my son accidentally hit a pipe that encased underground wires. It must have been heaved up by the frost this spring or something. The blade was completely bent, although the rest of the mower seemed fine. After ordering a replacement blade, sharpening it a lot, and installing it, the mower seemed to sputter and backfire.
He adjusted it to run wide open, changed the air filter, and now it seems to run better. Not sure how good it is myself as I haven't used it after the first time but it's still running. Blade is fine after sharpening.
