P1000 Thinking I've got a lemon...

[John_S]

This is going to piggy back on several other threads I am currently seeing. As I posted before I had an issue with my 2018P1000/3 LE (~50hours) which took 2 weeks at the dealer and a new ECM to correct. When i got it back it was running, but this past weekend while spraying my fenceline the machine quit while idling and I could not get it restarted. After a walk back to the barn I toed it back with my tractor. I was able to restart it the following morning, but the same issue as others are having, rough idling, clunks while placing in gear, lurching and stalling. This is not what I expected from a Honda. I'm wondering if I could/should withhold payment on this until it is sorted out. Very disappointing to see so may others having similar issues,

Are the charging systems that weak on these machines that it cannot support a 12 volt sprayer while running? I'll check battery voltage (do not have a load tester) and recharge, then see how it does.

It isn't the charging system as much as a sensitive transmission. When voltage drops, the transmission does weird things.

No but if you had bad connections it wasn't charging right
