    Troy Bilt TB320. Not a year old. Ran fine today and once I stopped to empty clippings, feels like there is no compression and mower won't start.

You may want to check the gas cap to see if it clogged with dirt. If the gas cap is clear, you more than likely have a carburetor problem. If you need tips on carb. cleaning, feel free to ask.

Why does my Troy Bilt model number 13AJ609G766 slip from forward to reverse and wont cut in reverse?

The shift lever has a torsion spring, part 26. See if it is broken.

It doesn't cut in reverse by design.

Does Troy Bilt riding mower cut in reverse?
In addition to push mowers, Troy-Bilt manufactures riding lawn mowers. Troy-Bilt mowers come with numerous safety features. One of these is the reverse cut-off switch, which people sometimes refer to as the "cut-in-reverse" cut-off switch.

My Troy-Bilt mower starts easily but not as powerful, stays on for less than 5 minutes and gradually stops. some black smoke is coming out

If the black smoke comes out of the muffler, you are burning excess fuel and could have an air filter plugged up to restrict air intake and cause the engine to run rich, therefor black smoke.
