Honda HRS21 won't stop!!

Hello all,

I have a Honda HRS21 mower that for it's age (1983) runs great, my problem is stopping it. This model has a flywheel brake system. I replaced the cable which controls the brake but the lever that attaches to a large spring under the deck doesn't move. Is there a way to adjust or loosen up this lever/spring? For now I just manually move the lever away from the switch to shut off the mower. Thanks!

Are you maybe confusing the spring for a blade clutch?

Possibly. The cable was frozen, that's why I replaced it but it appears that the flywheel brake is also frozen. I can't get the small lever that is mounted on top of it to move at all. (It looks like a large coiled spring and is located under the deck and above the flywheel- this model has the flywheel mounted under the engine).

tomplum,
This mower doesn't have a blade clutch...it has a flywheel brake that stops the engine when a bar on the handle is released. Sorry for any misunderstanding.
