Manual start only one year old prime 3 of 5 times, will run until primed fuel is used up. HOW do I drain carbureator bowl? iow water? in carb? I am having the same problem, although my mower is 7 years old. (Model 20016, 22 inch Toro Recycler). I have changed the air filter, the oil, and even emptied the gas tank and bought fresh gas. The mower starts in one shot after priming, but then shuts off immediately. Any advice greatly appreciated.
The problem is that the gas that sat in the carb all winter glazed it over and gummed it up. Begin by going to any auto parts store, like an aiutozone, and getting a bottle of carb. cleaner. Seafoam is one I use. Add it to your gas, one ounce per gallon of gas. Also, pick up a can of engine starting spray.
Remove the air filter and spray the engine starting spray into the air intake. Pull start the engine and give it additional squirts of engine starting spray until it runs smoothly.
SOURCE: toro recycler will start until primed gas is consumed.
I had similar problem and cleaned the spark plug and that seemed to have worked, but I think that may be a temporary fix because the engine still seems to be running unevenly. I feel that it must be a larger problem with the carb. If anyone can help this novice to adjust the carb or clean both carb and filter, or offer other solutions I would appreciate your assistance.
