After dropping off my 2017-18 Toro where I bought it , and calling the other day to ask when it was to be completed , they advised me in about '" two weeks" . It has already been there 4 days , so I said I would pick it back up and their to do nothing to it. I had tried to clean with carb cleaner but it just didn't run right. Watched your Video and did all you explained and were back to New . Thank Again,,, You're the Man !

Thank you for sharing this video. Cleaning the jet with a needle was my solution! You helped me enjoy the rest of my Saturday!

Big thanks for this video. I went straight for the carburetor. I lifted the front end with a paint can and clamped the fuel line. Mower is ready and it did not cost me a dime. Thank you once again.

Thanks so much … after 2 years of having it in my garage, I saw this video and IT WORKED for me.. now I have 2 lawn mowers 🤣🤣 thanks for the quick and easy video my guy ….

Thank you. This is the exact video I needed as it matched my engine. (2015) I followed all the steps and IT WORKED! Started on the first pull.

Thank you for your help. I was able to get my lawnmower working. The carburetor was dirty. You are awesome!

I have the same mower, this happened to me today. Thanks a ton for the video. I owe ya a beer

Thank you. hydroseeded my lawn a few weeks ago and it was ready to cut and lawnmower kept dying. Took apart and cleaned all I could but was missing that last little bit with the pin hole you showed in the video. This was the exact carburetor assembly I had. It's working now.

Dude. This video is nothing less than AWESOME! You saved me some money. This was very detailed and got me going again.

Thanks man I have the same mower and this helped. I was scared of breaking the carb until I saw you pry it open too. Works like a charm now.

Just finished working on this on my toro and enjoying the sounds of success as my little mule ran like new after l was done. Thanks man!

You put us over the top on this one. Thanks. We had the same problem, and the shop takes over 3 weeks to fix it and return it-- way too long. We figured we had to give it a shot. Other videos did not have our carburetor assembly and did not help us. Your video is clear and direct, and you are well spoken and likeable. A couple things I really liked are: 1). You announced the socket sizes for screws when you undid them; 2) you sped up the video when you undid a screw (saved a lot of watching time). 3) You showed the model year (2017), which matched up with ours -- very helpful;

Nice! Took me 25 minutes following this vid and I was back in action

Thank you, thank you, thank you! All the other videos I watched had a different assembly and I couldn’t figure out how to clean my fuel jet (or whatever you call it) until I watched this. And now my lawn mower works again! ❤️

Thank you so much for this video. The same thing was happening to my lawn mower, followed all instructions and my mower is now working. 🙏

Never did one on this model. Your vid made it easy . Super simple. Thanks!

Thank you, Mikey, my 2021 toro has same parts. This video helped me diagnosis and fix the problem!

Thank Mike this video is helpful. I didn't know how to open the carburator. Time to break out my channel locks. Thank you!!!

Thank you...i missed that jet on this new style plastic carb (which i wasn't familiar with)....opened up the carb twice...second time a charm...port was clogged...used pin and carb spray back and forth pin and carb...cleaned it well....worked first pull and kept running.

Thank you man for the video!!! Now I can use my lawn mower again!!!

Thanks! It worked! Watched other videos first and they were no help.

I have the same issue. 2 year old model keeps clogging and dies. I'm starting to think its a design issue . I upgraded to replace a mower with a Koler engine. No issues like this. Great job on the video with some useful tips.

I can’t believe that even happens to you! Thank you!

Mikey, u da man!! Other vids didn’t even show how to get the carb out to get to the screws underneath. SMH 🤦🏽‍♂️. Great vid bruh 👊🏽

Thanks Mikey - exactly the same problem with my Toro 'Mow and Stow' that I bought last year. I think what may've happened with mine is I had it on its side for a while and oil leaked into the air filter (I thought since it wouldn't leak in a vertical position, it wouldn't leak on its side but not true!) I put in a new air filter and oil but its possible that I introduced some dirt into the carburetor in the process. My fuel might be dirty. BTW I have been using engineered fuel (I know, more expensive but somewhat quieter and not as much gasoline fumes) and buy smaller quantities. I don't really like keeping a lot of gasoline around. Project Farm tested the fuels vs conventional gasoline and they come out a bit better.

Perfect. Exactly what I needed to fix my mower. Worked on the first pull. Thanks!

It worked great!!! Thanks for the help

Awesome video. Thank you!

@@mikeydeks honestly it wasn’t the clips it was that the hose was still stiff as hell and the clip had compressed the hose so hard over the male end of the carburetor it was like pulling it off with the clip still on. It’s a 2019 model so the hose hasn’t become very flexible yet even though it probably should’ve by now 🤷🏾‍♂️ but regardless she cranks and that’s what matters lol thanks again dog

Thanks. A mechanic at Ace hardware told me to use the pin like you did but also spray brake cleaner on it? What you think of spraying a product into it?

Ordered a new carb hopefully that fixes my new timemaster.

Thank you for this video! When I was attempting to disconnect the carburetor from the mower my spring flew off .. Is it possible for you to share a closeup photo of the reassembled carburetor somehow so I can reattach it properly? I’ve searched without any luck for something on the internet 😞

QUICK, SIMPLE AND TO THE POINT. THANKS FOR HELPING ME GET MY MOWER RUNNING AGAIN.

I cleaned the contact from where the connection of wire to lever

I took the bottom of the carburetor off and a little white piece came out with a grey pointer rubber tip. I have no idea where it came from!

Great video... however I'm worse than terrible at this type of stuff. I noticed a black o ring laying on my mower after I put it back together... any idea where that might have came from?

About an inch...I also never remember seeing a black one... just the white one that snaps in the back of the carburetor. First time I put it back together I believe I had the metal connectors to the throttle attached wrong. I started it and it revved very high and then stalled. I ended up doing the whole video again as gas got into the carburetor again. Fuel leaked out just sitting flat so maybe the o ring came from somewhere related to the fuel. It is too big for anything to do with the fuel line though. Thanks for responding though

If it’s not starting at all it can be a bad spark plug. If not try all the steps that I took it can either be a clogged fuel line that’s stopping gas from getting to the motor, or a dirty carburetor.. nine times out of 10 it’s one of those two things

Now you need a lawn .....lol

I’ve got a brand new Toro push mower (June 2023) that’s doing this! Toro used to be THE most reliable mower out there. I’m beyond furious that a brand new $380 lawnmower is already doing this bullshit. When I was a kid, my dad bought a second hand craftsman mower at a garage sale that lasted 20 years!!! All we ever did was put gas and oil in it! Manufacturers today don’t give a rats ass about the product they turn out!🤬

I've had mine 4 months and it's doing this! Bullshit!!

Every since they incorporated a prime bulb and these pieces of shit they are all sensitive as can be , Give me a classic Briggs and Stratton with the carb mount direct on the tank , no prime bulb , We never needed all of that horseshit before , There are too many designs now where they tried to modify by changing shit that was fine , instead they complicated things and I hate it

I prefer a primer bulb-it let’s you blast some pressure thru somethings that might be clogged-these new engines don’t really give you anything to work on, i even miss the old metal float Bowl he took off but the one he took off was plastic-the metal bowl you could just rapid tap on the bowl and most time get those jets to unclog without taking apart.

It’s hilarious that you wrote one long insulting sentence and had to edit it😂 You should’ve just deleted it. By the way there’s even an easier way to empty the gas & flush tank and you making a video of taking the gas tank off would get insulting comments that you just gave this guy. There’s more than one way to get the gas out and a lot of people-male and female that would’ve passed on this video if the guy was taking the machine apart. In the end it’s all the same-but he helped more non-handy people to get their mower going and that was his point and why most people came here, but you on the other hand 🙄keep on editing your insult sentences-you’ll eventually get it right the first time eventually😂
