My Weedeater riding lawn mower will not move when it is in drive or reverse
Check your drive belt that it has not slipped off the drive cog under the motor. Also check the alignment of the motor with the handle on the right side (speed, reverse, and neutral lever).. This lever tilts the engine to engage the drive belt.. there is no transmission in this machine.. just how the belt engages by its angle when you push the lever forward and backward.. If the engine is running, it must be either the belt to drive the unit or the angle has been messed up somehow..

Why does my fl-20 need the choke to run?
the carburetor is clogged. it needs to be cleaned. if it will run on choke that means that it is starving for fuel but if it runs at all it is an easy fix. just take the carburetor apart and clean with carburetor cleaner good and it will run like new. good luck
Why won't my FeatherLite FL-20C weed eater will not stay running when I put it in full choke. What could be wrong?
It should run ok after warming up. After starting it, let it run for a minute or so and then try gradually opening the choke. You might try increasing the throttle setting at the same time. After the motor is hot, if you have to have the throttle setting increased in order to keep it running it means the idle setting needs to be increased, usually by turning a screw to keep the fuel valve from closing so much, or that there is a problem with the fuel flow......like a clogged jet or fuel passage in the carb.
