How To FIX A TORO LAWNMOWER that STARTS then DIES. Will Not Stay Running. STARTS THEN STOPS
Jeff's little Engine Service demonstrates a "QUICK FIX" for a TORO LAWN MOWER that WON"T STAY RUNNING. Starts then Dies. Starts then Stops. HOW TO REPAIR a Lawnmower that will not stay running. Also, WILL NOT START sometimes. Plugged Carburetor. PLUGGED MAIN JET. This procedure works as long as the carburetor is not too dirty. If so, a complete removal and rebuild is necessary.
PLEASE KEEP IN MIND when you are watching my videos: I am showing you the least expensive, quickest "backyard" methods for repairing or servicing your lawnmower. Replacing all components such as gaskets and fuel lines is always recommended when rebuilding or repairing equipment. With these videos I hope you are able to fix and repair your lawnmower yourself with minimal parts, knowledge and tools. Thank you for watching!

6 years later and this video is still helping people out. (5/24/2022 today) Thanks Jeff! A neighbor just bought a new mower and gave me this very model of Toro in your video. Because it... wait for it.... it would start and then die. 15 minutes after getting it home I was mowing with it. Truly, thanks for making this video Jeff!

@@charlescruse4240 Very cool! I bet you were as happy as I was. The mower I mentioned in the comment is still running too. 👍
Thanks from the future Jeff. Worked like a charm.
Jeff Had my lawn mower in storage following a move to a place where I thought I’d never have to use it again. But my grandson is now mowing lawns in our neighbourhood and asked if he could use it. I filled it with gas and it would start and quit immediately. Followed your excellent utube on how to find and clean the injection piece. Soaked it as described and now it purrs like a kitten. Things go better with Coke! Thx a million
omfg this worked! my dad was a mechanic at a landscaping biz for 30 years, i helped for 6. we used old lawnboys i use to just give the carb a clean. well my dad passed away leaving me with alot of equipment thats half running half broke. so i remember in convo once he said "all that thing needs is a gasket i told the person it was junk" so i put the new gasket on he had set to the side and it kept starting and dying after 10 seconds. sure enough i pulled that plug off and both holes were all gunk! i said still, theres no way this is going to work i always have bad luck. sprayed carb clean through it and used a pin to push the gunk out. put it back together. FIRST PULL IT STARTED! ran like a fucking beast i cut the whole damn yard. thank you!

I landscaped back in the 80’s and I loved those old Lawnboys. I wish I still had one of those mowers because they were lightweight and would run forever with routine maintenance.

OMG you are Awesomeness!!! I have the exact same mower. It would start then die immediately. I called the Torro repair shop. $120 to look at my mower. I found this video and it cost me the large sum of 55 cents for a new gasket that was crack. This fix took me about 30 minutes to do. I used a twist tie wire to clean the holes out and a toothbrush to scrub the dirt. Mower is running like a champ. Thank you!!!!

I started mowing my lawn this morning when suddenly the mower started running very slow, too slow to cut the grass. I came in the house, went on KZread, found this video, followed the advise, started the mower and finished cutting my lawn. THANKS!

You nailed it. Fixed in just a few minutes. My float bowl stayed attached to the carb and I cleaned the jet with a welding tip cleaner. Runs like new. Thank you for the tip.....
Thanks for sharing this fix, definitely saved me $. Brought my Toro lawnmower back to life!

Thanks Jeff! My main jet looked clean when I got it apart. I blew canned air through it anyway and now the lawnmower works.
in Tallahassee moving my daughter into her very first house and the people who lived here before left her this exact mower doing exactly what you describe. i was able to fix it in 10 minutes thanks to your video. I’m a subscriber now!!!
I appreciate your time and effort to make this video. I had similar issue yesterday. Now I know what to do if it happens again.
Thanks a ton! Simple fix to keep working. I really appreciate this post. I'm convinced you can find everything useful on the Internet.

Thanks for the tip. Worked flawlessly on My Toro nearly same model but 7.25. Wasnt as rusty as yours (it was like new actually, but i always tend to wash my lawn mower after every use), only some kind of that was clogging it. Once removed, cleaned in some water and a tip cleaner everything worked perfectly. Youre the man!
Thanks this video just saved me a couple 100 dollars 👌🏾👌🏾👌🏾👌🏾
Awesome video. Just fixed mine in 10 min!!!! Thank you so much!!!
Exactly the information I needed this Labor day! Thank you, you rock👍👍
Thank you for your Video , i was having the same problem with my TORO , i changed the Spark Plug , the Filter and the Oil , did not work , then i saw your video , gave it a try and it WORKED ! Thank You so very much !
Thank you for your help and advice. It's really appreciated!
Thank you for the help...And it did help.. Running good again.
After replacing the Spark Plug and cleaning the Carb it ran fine for a while. Then it started running bad again. Checked the Spark, even cleaned and adjusted the Gap. Still ran rough. Discouraged until i found you post on KZread. So I checked the jet it was plugged and there was more dirt in the bowl. Cleaned the Bowl and Jet and WHOW its a new mower, runs great. Thanks Jeff Your the Bees Knees Bro!
Yessss I will give it a shot tomorrow thanks for the great video.
I was about to make up another “Free, needs work” sign and leave my mower by the road. But thanks to this video 20 minutes later I was back to mowing. Thank you!

Thank you for the video. Had this problem today, solution in the video solved it. Was a bit surprised that it happened on 3 year old mower though. Looks like I'll be using startron going forward.
Thanks for the video! Elevated the mower and tilted it back and clamped the gas feed tube so I wouldn't have to drain gas tank. Just the gas in the bowl, with old towel under worked. Kept old gasket and just manually cleaned jet, even though it didn't look dirty. Nevertheless, mower now starts easily, and remains running smoothly. So glad you posted this Jeff.

I had this exact problem on my 2009 Toro "Guaranteed to Start" Recycler with a 6.75 hp Briggs & Stratton engine. I thought I would have to take apart the carburetor but your solution worked for me. I did use carb cleaner instead of Coke and so was able to clean the jet and bowl within 10 minutes. Also, I tipped the mower down onto its handle to prevent my full tank of gas from spilling out when I removed the jet and bowl. Thanks for producing this video!

Well. I went through the whole fuel system. Made sure the gas cap was good and properly venting, the fuel line was good, the little jet that is in the bolt at the bottom of the cup under the carb. Sprayed down the carb with cleaner. Blew everything off with a compressor. Everything was already clean to begin with but after I cleaned it anyway, the mower ran great. (New spark plug and blade also). Thanks so much for the video.
Thank you will try to repair this toro have a great day

Exactly what you said, only instead of soaking it 24hrs in Coke I used carb cleaner. Took about 5 minutes I’m total, started right up and stayed started. Cheers
Thanks for the video. I had the same problem. Before going through your solution, I titled the mower left (towards the gas tank) and restarted it. It worked after that. I don't know why, but it worked and is still working.

Thank you for this video. My husband took our toro completely apart and put it back together checking all the usual things. He got it where it would start with starter fluid but not stay running. I did a little google search that came across your video so we headed back out to check ours. Sure enough we got it to start and stay running.
