| I have a 20 in Mclane mower Model 94202.
I recently replaced the belt and also the clutch spring.When I engage the clutch and then release the clutch handle it does not release from the handle. I have to manually release the clutch lever. I have tried adjusting the belt tension both increasing and decreasing the tension. This does not correct the problem. I will appreciate any help in determing what adjustments
Thank You |

| I didn't see this model #. Is this one of the Snapper made rotary mowers? Return springs can break sometimes. Does it seem as though the cable may be binding? |

| The model number you listed is for the Briggs & Stratton engine. It's a 3.5hp 9.0CID. I think the correct p/n for the mower is 20-3.5-7. Anyway, I would check and see if you have the new belt threaded properly. Also, make sure spring is properly installed. On older McLane the spring provided tension on the belt; on newer ones like yours the spring is a return to release tension. Do you have the manual? Although not real clear it gives some idea of relationship of belt, spring, pulleys, and levers. |
