I've had 2 1816's and they both bucked like crazy. It's hard to run them on asphalt, or any other high-friction surface. On loose dirt, sand or mud, they're great. Don't run them full throttle unless you need to, and as you said, make light turns. And I wouldn't loosen up the left drive belt, either. In order to replace those belts you have to remove the engine. That's an easy thing, but putting it back drove me crazy getting those fine thread bolts to start in blind holes. I just spend a fair bit getting a shop to revise the engine mount do I could slide it back 1/2 inch to slip a belt over the pulleys.</p></blockquote><p></p>
