My rover raider 20/42 operating hours reads 1520 over an 8 year lifespan which is around 3.5 hours every week. That has not happened. Anybody have an explanation?
My 20/42 won't disengage, the blades just keep running whether I push the button in or pull it out. The key is in the correct position. I need advice please.
Does this mower come with the option of bag/catcher?
Can anyone please tell me What blade belt goes on the Rover Raider 20/42 , cheers

How to wire stater solenoid and starter on rover raider?
Ok, Blades wont engage when i pull the pto knob out. Can hear a click as if the solenoid(?) is working and the revs dont drop as if the blades are jammed. Everything else seems fine. Any help greatly appreciated. thanks
my rover raider 2042 won't start and lights won't work although battery is fully charged is there a fuse somewhere?
Check that it's getting spark. If so spray some fuel through the carb to see if fires. If it does you have a carb problem
Check your valve clearances - if it is straining to turn over then it might be that the valve clearances are too big and the exhaust valve is closing before the piston reaches the top. It is a common problem and I have just had that problem and resetting the clearances fixed the problem.
Ok might be a stupid question but I have Rover 20/42 used twice and has about 4 hours running time on it. All enthusiastic to start mowing today however, I can't get it to go forwards or backwards. Starts and runs fine, then I disengage brake and use hydrostatic foot pedal but still won't move. The lever on the rear of the mower that disengages the gearbox (so it can be pushed) is in the correct position. It's been a few months since last used, have I forgotten to do something?
Hi Bluey,
sounds like the drive belt might have come off the pulley at the back on top of the gear box.
Everything else is working/ starting. ??
Cheers Tom
