I had the same symptoms, after bumping the corner of my house - slow drive speed, actually slow rotation of engine. Tried cleaning air filter, replacing drive belt, spark plug; no difference. Took to JD today figuring it was the carb. They went to a piece of the linkage under the shroud ahead of the air filter; a piece must have been bent. I did not see closely enough to know exactly what, but perhaps it will be evident upon inspection.
