Bcs 720 rotavator with lombardini diesel engine

hi forum

Sounds like your clutch is slipping. Check your owners manual and see if they give details of how to adjust the clutch.

If you do not have a manual. Make a note of how things are set up NOW. Then with the engine NOT running, unfasten the knurled adjuster screw fully. Slip the cable nipple out of its locator socket. Squirt some chain lube down the inside of the cable housing. Put that back together.

Follow the clutch cable all the way from the controls to the engine/clutch housing and check if there is another adjuster anywhere along the cable. If there is unfastenit and release it until you have lots of free play. Re-adjust the cable until most of the slack has been taken out. You need about 3-4mm freeplay. Lock the adjusters in place.

Fire up the engine and test the clutch.

Good luck
