30 year old girl. Just did this on my parents’ mower. Started up 1st crank afterwards. I cheered and was like Tom Hank’s in Castaway when he made fire, motioning to the neighborhood to admire what I did. LOL! So thrilled right now!!! 🤣
I was just as thrilled when it worked for me as well! My neighbor wanted to help but his wife told him "no, she said she wanted to do it herself. Give her a minute." And she was right. If I can fix it, what a sense of accomplishment! Congrats for fixing and getting it running just like new!
@@kellylynn727 Congrats! Guys like the producer of this video make UA-cam a gold mine! Lord knows UA-cam has helped me keep my 2002 Jeep Wrangler on the road for years! Bless’m all the guys putting together these videos! Saved me hundreds of dollars through the years!!!👍👍👍⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
I just did this step by step but I didn’t replace anything just cleaned it and holy shit she works first pull. You sir deserve an award for this. Your helping lots of people save hundreds of dollars. Kudos to you bro
It needs to be said that I also just drained the gas, took it apart and cleaned it up and it did NOT start. Has the same sound as when I started. Figured it was worth a try since I'll have to wait for the part, and now I'm more skeptical of the part fixing the mower. very lame
Oh my gawd… I bought a new Toro last year, “guaranteed start” 140cc model. Well, this year, I could NOT get it to start. I read the warranty, saw that if you left fuel in it longer than 30 days, it voids the warranty. Truth be told, I did not drain the gas tank last fall, totally my bad, and the main jet in the carburetor must have gummed up. I am halfway handy, but have never pulled apart a carburetor in anything and was a bit intimidated…but also did not want to pay $100 (give or take) to have it fixed. Saw this video, followed it exactly, and by gawd, it runs like a champ! Saved me money as well as boosting my confidence for fixing the mower. THANK YOU!
You have to wonder - if the manufacturer is so adamant about not leaving fuel in it over 30 days, WHY DON'T THEY INCLUDE A SIMPLE DRAIN VALVE ON THE GAS TANK? Pulling off the fuel line is a stinky flammable mess even when executed carefully, and owner's should have to purchase a dedicated fuel siphon to do it right.
I'm a 74 yo female who is not one bit mechanically inclined. I'm learning how to do things my husband used to do from videos like yours. Thank you for your clear instructions and video. I will be trying to make this repair as soon as I get the part.
Best way to learn! UA-cam is how I learned how to do all my house repair as well. Saves me a ton of money, and it gets done way faster than if I procrastinated until finally getting around to getting someone in to do it lol.
Was really mad when I used my mower one time and it wouldnt start 😒 but I tried your fix and ended just cleaning the jet. She started right up I'm so thankful! Thank you for a good video
Life saver! Had an issue with bad gas and the mower backfired/afterfired halfway through the mow. Called local repair shops and it's a 5-6 week wait to get in for service. I'm an IT guy and barely know what a carburetor does, but I watched this video and followed it as easy as putting together Legos. Saved me money, time, and angry neighbors yelling about my half-mowed lawn. Thanks for this!
Thank you for this video! I’ve searched/watched countless videos trying to figure out how to get inside my carburetor without feeling like I’d be breaking something in the process, or just how to do it in general. I’ve been getting by all spring/summer (2022) shooting in some carb cleaner, but today my mower just wasn’t having it anymore. So I searched again and stumbled across your video 🙌. It’s been the first I’ve watched with clear video and clear step-by-step instructions. In fact, when I failed to take your advice on taking a photo to remember, I was able to rewind and screen shot some of your footage to reference when putting it all back together. I did have to substitute replacing the main jet part by just flushing it, but I did order a new one. Once it comes in I feel confident in replacing it. Long story short - my mower fired up (and stayed up) immediately! Again, thanks for the video!
Found your video after I decided I couldn’t wait two weeks for the local repair shop. Ordered the part and followed your video. Started on the first pull. THANK YOU!!
I love these instructions, exactly what I need to know to change out my little jet. I’m no mechanic, so these instructions knowledgeable enough without being confusing
This worked great for me! A note to those who had difficulty inserting the new jet mechanism: the tolerances are very tight on this part, and if you bypassed the OEM Briggs and Stratton part in favor of a $5 Chinese knockoff you may have found that the new part "won't fit", or insert fully, like mine did. But examining the old and new parts I could see that they were basically the identical part within some few 100ths of an inch tolerance. So I inserted the jet as far as I could by hand, then rested the carburetor's mounting flanges above the jaws of a vice, and lightly tapped on alternate corners of the white Delrin part with a small hammer until it seated fully into the carburetor. Voila, after reassembly and pumping the throttle handle to get gas moving, the mower started on its first pull!
Dude thank you! Picked up a mower with this engine for cheap on marketplace because it wouldn’t run, put a new jet in and it started up on the first pull!
Well this is another elderly saying thanks, I am a 72 years old woman with millions of ailments but with your vídeo and grunting because the pain in my lower back and my arthritics knees I was able to fix my Toro lawn mower which broke because my neighbor s daughter put water instead of gas. God bless you!
Just use this video to fix my lawn mower. Absolutely works. I went to a repair shop and they told me I had to replace the whole carburetor instead of just the jet. Thank you for this video.
Thank you for sharing this... I have been a wrench all my life but cant say I've had the privilege to work on one of these yet... Well, I just inherited one of these machines from a neighbor, thank you Dave, and I knew it was a fuel issue, but noticed when I took off the air filter that this was a total different bird from what I'm used to working on... Glad I found you, I'll be having this machine cooking my breakfast this weekend!
Very much like others here, I was able to get my 10 year old Toro Recycler back up and running. I appreciate your words of wisdom and easy to follow video. Thanks!
Just fixed my lawn mower thanks to this video! I was too nervous to take the control rods off, but I was still able to get the jet main out. I just cleaned it, sprayed it with WD-40 as in the video, and put it all back together. Added fresh fuel and it started on the first pull! This was such a confidence booster; wish I had the internet when I was growing up.
omg this was the first video i clicked on because i received a lawnmower for free because it was not starting. went through your step by step and i want to say is thank you very very much its working perfectly now.
Just wanted to say THANK YOU!!! I have never ever worked on a lawn mower in my entire life - aside from putting gas in it and using it. Yesterday I not only changed the jet main and cleaned the carburetor, I was able to remove and clean the fuel tank, flush the fuel line and I replaced the air filter and changed the spark plug so THANK YOU!! Great video.
This is a great vid and it worked for me today. The only suggestion would be to remove the cover to make it easier to access that tube you point out that will suck up dirt into the carb. It's just 2 screws and the latch under the sticker towards the front of the cover. Thank you for the excellent help. It truly saved my mower.
Wow! I am a book and pen guy but was easily able to follow your method of fixing this mower with the plastic carburator insert you recommended. It started right up!! Wouldn't have been able to figure this out without your help. Bravo to you and it's now time to subscribe to your page! Thanks!!!!
I picked up this exact model off Facebook market place. Mower wouldn't start and followed your tips to get her up and running!!! New skill unlocked. Thanks for sharing
Hi there… My name is Rob and I live in Nanaimo BC Canada… I just watched your video… Carefully followed your instructions… And successfully fixed our lawnmower… We bought this at Home Depot a year ago… Pulled it out on May 13, 2023 and wouldn't start… so after buying the little plastic piece that you recommended from our local small engine repair dealer… I was able to install the piece in the lawnmower started up right away… Thank you very much. Great video. Have a good weekend.
Hi there! Your video helped me fix my lawnmower. Just wanted to say thank you. I didn't end up buying a new jet, though. I used a very thin sewing needle to clean the little holes out. Mower started right up on the first pull. Woo hoo!
Great video Thanks - Mine I pulled the jets and cleaned with compressed air Put the carb back together And... Vroom Worked like a charm UA-cam needs more video tutorials like this !! Very well done
This worked like a charm! My only unexpected experience is when I found a 1" o-ring, I placed it between the carburetor and the engine, it started up on the first pull. Thank you !!!
Hey buddy. My mower didn't start. I watch your video. I just mowed my grass. Thanks so much. I never worked on a motor ever I'm 58 now. It was easy after watching. Thanks.
You are a life saver, I was about to take my lawn machine go get repaired like I usually do after each winter. I followed your exact steps and it worked! Found the video really straight to the point.
This got my lawnmower running again! Amazon Had the injector for $17 or the whole carburetor for $40; so I bought the entire carb… easy install and runs perfect!
Guys. Check your kill contact. Make sure when you pull the handle it completely disengages from the contact. I took my Toro all apart. Drained the gas tank, new spark plug, new carbureator. I even cleaned the ends of the magneto. Nothing. Then I noticed when i pulled the handle the kill contact was barely touching which was not allowing it to run. A simple adjustment of the cable and wala! It cranked on the first pull.
I'm planning on replacing this jet in the next few days. My mower just stopped starting at all in the early fall last year. But anyways, What is kill contact? How do I check this first before trying the jet
Had mine stored in garage and would not start this spring,this seemed to be my problem the cable was a bit loose and the contact was dirty.it cranked after I cleaned it🤷🏻♂️
You are the man! My Father-in-law and I where working on his mower for this issue for hours and getting no where! Watched this video changed that part and started on the first pull! Keep up the great work!!
I installed an inline fuel filter so that if there were to be any dirt in the fuel, the filter would catch it. Its been over 2 years and there are no problems with fuel issues. just a tip and the video was helpful.
I didn’t replace the part you showed because my mower isn’t that old. Disassembled like you showed and cleaned everything up and blew out a couple pieces. Once I put it back together it started first pull. That you for your videos. Very helpful!
If you put carb cleaner in the throat of the carb and it starts then dies quickly this will be your problem if it doesn't turn on at all after carb cleaner it's your spark plug just change the plug.
You are the clutch god. Just did this but cleaned the piece and also bought a new one. The one I cleaned worked perfectly and now I have an extra for when it really gets clogged. Once again thank you for this
Thank you for the explanation and demonstration. I've never worked on any machine before but after watching your video, I feel like I could become a mechanic. Lol. Thank you 😊
Thanks for making this video I didn't buy a new jet for mine I just used a needle and cleaned out all the little nozzles on the jet and then dried it off and wiped it down and blew some air through the various hole and put it back together and that fixed it with some fresh fuel
I know this video is from 2 years ago, but this absolutely worked for my mower. I didn't replace the jet just yet, although I likely will soon, but cleaning it out got the mower to start right up on the first pull after I had been fighting with it for ages. THANK YOU for sharing your knowledge here, you're a lifesaver.
My Toro mower refused to start after winter storage, watched your video, brought the new carb jet part, fitted and mower started on first turn of the key, THANK YOU SO MUCH 👍
I did all this perfectly and now my rope won't pull to start it and it was pulling before I did the job! I haven't a clue to what happened took out the spark plug and got it to pull alot of gas coming out it started and smoked now gas is leaking where the air filter is 😂 I'm about to take this whole thing apart again and do everything over to see what's happening but only after I go and buy a powerful electric mower because I am so sick of this brand new gas mower I swear *update I didn't buy an electric one I took it off again and checked the float and the pin was out and the float wasn't closing to stop the gas fixed that and drained the oil with gas in it out replaced the oil and new gas and started first pull and I'm done cutting my lawn! It was some work but I can do this with my eyes closed now thank you Sir!
This video was very helpful even though I haven't started to work yet but just looking at it and watching what you've done I believe I can get my lawn mower fixed thank you for the video I really appreciate the tips that you put on there and I will send you a comment back when I got it fixed and ready to go
Some low life stole all my husband garden tools from his truck 😢 He had some old ones for backup, and the lawn mower won't start. After watching your video, he decided to give it a try. And yes, it worked at first try. So, for all those people wondering if this method works.. YES IT WORKS save yourself some money. Thansk you so much for posting so usefull video!!!
Thanks for the tip. I pulled the carb off and cleaned up the jets with carb cleaner. I cleaned out the fuel tank and blew the debris out of it and it started right up.
I am blown away. This 100 percent fixed my problem. Thank you so much for saving me a ton of $ on a new mower that I didn’t need to spend. I’m not anywhere near the word mechanic or repair as this was my first “big” one. Can’t believe it worked! Thank you!!! 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
Dear D-MAN: THANK YOU, THANK YOU, for an AWESOME Tutorial!!! We have this exact same Toro Recycler 22, that totally died. I followed your directions through every step and started right up, on the FIRST pull of the cord! It's like a NEW Mower!!! You saved us $500!!! God Bless You, my Friend :-)
Excellent video. I was able to fix a mower that wouldn't start after trying everything else. The hardest part was trying to decide the part number to order. Our engine is the exact same as the one you demonstrated (although B&S gave a different part number). I just ordered the part number you showed. Once the part came, it was about 45 minutes and we were mowing again. Thank you!
Thank you for this video, your information was right on point. The only delay was waiting for my new valve to arrive. Put in new gas and it starts every time and runs like new.👍👍👍
It was great. took it all apart just like you showed us, cleaned and poke at the jets with the bristle from my wire brush, put it all back together and SURPISE started at the first pull. Thank you so very much for saving me some mula. You are tha man!!
Thank you so much!!! This video was done perfectly. I’m such a moron for leaving gas over the winter and you saved me with this awesome guide. Thank you so much!
Just fixed my Toro mower following your detailed step by step instructions. Replaced the main jets, air filter and fuel. Fired up on the second pull :) Thanks for the video !!!
I can only agree with many of the previous commenters. Followed your tutorial step by step and was up and running in half an hour (looking for the right tools took some time lol). My husband was pleasantly surprised when he came home and the machine is running super smoothly 👍
I'm 65, female, pretty darn handy but never learned much about auto mechanics, engine repair, etc... biting me on the ass now, lol... anyway, mower wouldn't turn over, remembered some coughing and smoke last time I used it, followed this video... part cost less than $10, next day AMAZON prime delivery...beginning of mowing season in SWFL... can you even imagine what it would have cost, let alone get an appt... decided if this didn't work it would likely be cheaper to just buy a new mower, LOL...WELL, THIS WORKED PERFECTLY!!!!! THANKS SO MUCH!
Thank you so much. I also was able to fix my lawnmower using your video. This is a great resource and I am highly recommending it to those who want to do DIY lawnmower repair.
Outstanding video. Concise and well filmed. The hint about taking photos as I disassembled the carb made the job even easier. If I may contribute one thought...I would recommend removing the dust cover. Doing so makes reassembling the carb much easier. Of course Toro had to use to "star" screws that are tough to access, but it removing it was worth the trouble.
Thank you I had bought a brand new toro recycler in 2016/17 used it for 1 or 2 seasons starting working a lot of OT didn’t have time to take care of the yard hired a landscaper for the last 2 or 3 yrs never used my mower since this yr I have time but my mower wouldn’t start I had the same fluids since 2019 this video helped revive Frankenstein cleaning out the carb cup I had so many particles in that thing ne gas new oil new spark plug 1st pull it sounds brand new thank you 🙏🏾
Dude thank you!! Second time this "guaranteed to start" mower has failed to start for me. I did this and it started up the second pull. I'm smiling so hard right now lol I have definitely entered adulthood to be this giddy 😂
@@D-MAN107 so it worked the first cut and then the next week it ran for about 2 strips of grass, thought it sounded funny so I shut it off, then fired it up again and now it just dies after a few seconds of running. Any thoughts?
Had a machine come in and This video definitely solved the problem! I was never going to figure the carb had a main jet. The electric choke had me puzzled aswell. Liked and subscribed🙌🏽
This is very helpful. Mine is a 190cc engine but has the exact symptoms you specified. I'll look the part number for the Briggs n Stratton and use your guidance. Thank you.
I want you to know ur the best. I picked a lawn mower up that was in the garbage, it looked brand new so i grabbed it. I didnt know if it worked. It didnt so i watched this video and i now have a working toro one start. 1 easy pull and it starts. I priced it and it was $550.00. Not bad for a free mower. Thanks again.
thank you so much. son and i washed out the jet and carb. started right up. just got it before winter and first start up (x1000 pulls) didnt work. your directions were perfect to the T.
I'm diabetic so I have syringes. I did what u showed but used a syringe to poke at and clean the jets and my mower started right up and ran great. Thank you.
Thanks for the awesome support if you need this part or anything else we can ship to you call us at 470-209-7250
Do you have a website? i wanted to buy the main jet for this Toro 20340
How much is it?
How do I tighten the belt on my toro lawnmower
Thanks, That was very well covered, down to the point and quick.
Bro mine literally says guaranteed to start😑
made in murica junk. god bless the japs
I know right! 😂
Mines too had it 1 week 😮

That is absolutely wonderful so glad to hear that and congratulations now your a mechanic 👍💯🔧
You know theres some better options of lawnmowers why don’t you get
Toro or lawn boy
@@Echo_vr18 the lawn mower I fixed is a Toro
@@D-MAN107 I used my mower for about an hour and now it won't start again. I'm so disappointed.
Make sure you have fresh fuel that is less than 30days old its very possible you have fuel contaminated with water also.
I just did this step by step but I didn’t replace anything just cleaned it and holy shit she works first pull. You sir deserve an award for this. Your helping lots of people save hundreds of dollars. Kudos to you bro
Thanks and yes cleaning does work most the time but I prefer just replacing it since it's a cheap part.
It needs to be said that I also just drained the gas, took it apart and cleaned it up and it did NOT start. Has the same sound as when I started. Figured it was worth a try since I'll have to wait for the part, and now I'm more skeptical of the part fixing the mower. very lame

Guys. Check your kill contact. Make sure when you pull the handle it completely disengages from the contact. I took my Toro all apart. Drained the gas tank, new spark plug, new carbureator. I even cleaned the ends of the magneto. Nothing. Then I noticed when i pulled the handle the kill contact was barely touching which was not allowing it to run. A simple adjustment of the cable and wala! It cranked on the first pull.
Yes sometimes the cable will get rusty and stick causing the cable not to have full travel.
I'm planning on replacing this jet in the next few days. My mower just stopped starting at all in the early fall last year. But anyways, What is kill contact? How do I check this first before trying the jet
Had mine stored in garage and would not start this spring,this seemed to be my problem the cable was a bit loose and the contact was dirty.it cranked after I cleaned it🤷🏻♂️
@@MGMafioso Nice. Good job brother!
You are the man! My Father-in-law and I where working on his mower for this issue for hours and getting no where! Watched this video changed that part and started on the first pull! Keep up the great work!!
Awesome
I installed an inline fuel filter so that if there were to be any dirt in the fuel, the filter would catch it. Its been over 2 years and there are no problems with fuel issues. just a tip and the video was helpful.
Awesome
Nice to know. Thanks. Great explaining and super camera angles make it so east to see what your doing. Thanks again!
Thanks
Great video and perfect demonstration, thank you!
Thanks 🙏
I didn’t replace the part you showed because my mower isn’t that old. Disassembled like you showed and cleaned everything up and blew out a couple pieces. Once I put it back together it started first pull. That you for your videos. Very helpful!
Absolutely the best step by step video on this repair ever. Thank you soooo much!!!!!
Excellent video. Thanks a lot for presenting this so well.
Thanks
If you put carb cleaner in the throat of the carb and it starts then dies quickly this will be your problem if it doesn't turn on at all after carb cleaner it's your spark plug just change the plug.
You are the clutch god. Just did this but cleaned the piece and also bought a new one. The one I cleaned worked perfectly and now I have an extra for when it really gets clogged. Once again thank you for this
Nice work!
Thank you for the video!! Got my mower running in 30 min!! Fricking stoked!!
Nice work!
This is exactly what I needed. Super easy fix. Thank you!
Awesome
Great photography on the linkage
Thanks
Thank you for the explanation and demonstration. I've never worked on any machine before but after watching your video, I feel like I could become a mechanic. Lol. Thank you 😊
Glad I could help!
Thanks for making this video I didn't buy a new jet for mine I just used a needle and cleaned out all the little nozzles on the jet and then dried it off and wiped it down and blew some air through the various hole and put it back together and that fixed it with some fresh fuel
Nice work!
Hope the video helps you out with your machine stay tuned for more helpful videos.
Perfect fix
Was exactly as you described
Started very first try
Very quick fix
I thank you and subscribed
Thanks glad it worked out👍
I know this video is from 2 years ago, but this absolutely worked for my mower. I didn't replace the jet just yet, although I likely will soon, but cleaning it out got the mower to start right up on the first pull after I had been fighting with it for ages. THANK YOU for sharing your knowledge here, you're a lifesaver.
Glad it helped
My Toro mower refused to start after winter storage, watched your video, brought the new carb jet part, fitted and mower started on first turn of the key, THANK YOU SO MUCH 👍
Awesome glad it worked out for you
This was exactly what I was looking for to fix the neighbors mower so I didn't have to repeatedly mow his lawn! Thank you.
I did all this perfectly and now my rope won't pull to start it and it was pulling before I did the job! I haven't a clue to what happened took out the spark plug and got it to pull alot of gas coming out it started and smoked now gas is leaking where the air filter is 😂 I'm about to take this whole thing apart again and do everything over to see what's happening but only after I go and buy a powerful electric mower because I am so sick of this brand new gas mower I swear *update I didn't buy an electric one I took it off again and checked the float and the pin was out and the float wasn't closing to stop the gas fixed that and drained the oil with gas in it out replaced the oil and new gas and started first pull and I'm done cutting my lawn! It was some work but I can do this with my eyes closed now thank you Sir!
Awesome was about to say the needle seat was leaking lol
This video was very helpful even though I haven't started to work yet but just looking at it and watching what you've done I believe I can get my lawn mower fixed thank you for the video I really appreciate the tips that you put on there and I will send you a comment back when I got it fixed and ready to go
You got this!
Thanks to your video I was able to fix my mower myself. This is huge because I'm not a mechanic of any sort. I can't thank you enough!
Glad I could help
Some low life stole all my husband garden tools from his truck 😢
He had some old ones for backup, and the lawn mower won't start.
After watching your video, he decided to give it a try.
And yes, it worked at first try.
So, for all those people wondering if this method works..
YES IT WORKS save yourself some money.
Thansk you so much for posting so usefull video!!!
Sorry to hear that
Thanks for the tip. I pulled the carb off and cleaned up the jets with carb cleaner. I cleaned out the fuel tank and blew the debris out of it and it started right up.
Nice work!
I am blown away. This 100 percent fixed my problem. Thank you so much for saving me a ton of $ on a new mower that I didn’t need to spend. I’m not anywhere near the word mechanic or repair as this was my first “big” one. Can’t believe it worked! Thank you!!! 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
Glad to help
Dear D-MAN: THANK YOU, THANK YOU, for an AWESOME Tutorial!!! We have this exact same Toro Recycler 22, that totally died. I followed your directions through every step and started right up, on the FIRST pull of the cord! It's like a NEW Mower!!! You saved us $500!!! God Bless You, my Friend :-)
Awesome
Excellent video. I was able to fix a mower that wouldn't start after trying everything else. The hardest part was trying to decide the part number to order. Our engine is the exact same as the one you demonstrated (although B&S gave a different part number). I just ordered the part number you showed. Once the part came, it was about 45 minutes and we were mowing again. Thank you!
Glad it helped
Thank you for this video, your information was right on point. The only delay was waiting for my new valve to arrive. Put in new gas and it starts every time and runs like new.👍👍👍
Awesome 💪
It was great. took it all apart just like you showed us, cleaned and poke at the jets with the bristle from my wire brush, put it all back together and SURPISE started at the first pull. Thank you so very much for saving me some mula. You are tha man!!
Awesome
Followed your video with a few exceptions on the dismantling part. I cut a few corners. Started on the first try, ran like new. Thank you very much!
Awesome
Thank you so much!!! This video was done perfectly. I’m such a moron for leaving gas over the winter and you saved me with this awesome guide. Thank you so much!
Glad it helped!
Just fixed my Toro mower following your detailed step by step instructions. Replaced the main jets, air filter and fuel. Fired up on the second pull :) Thanks for the video !!!
Nice work!
Have not done mine yet, but looking at this video am very sure that it will start right away
I can only agree with many of the previous commenters. Followed your tutorial step by step and was up and running in half an hour (looking for the right tools took some time lol).
My husband was pleasantly surprised when he came home and the machine is running super smoothly 👍
Great to hear!
I'm 65, female, pretty darn handy but never learned much about auto mechanics, engine repair, etc... biting me on the ass now, lol... anyway, mower wouldn't turn over, remembered some coughing and smoke last time I used it, followed this video... part cost less than $10, next day AMAZON prime delivery...beginning of mowing season in SWFL... can you even imagine what it would have cost, let alone get an appt... decided if this didn't work it would likely be cheaper to just buy a new mower, LOL...WELL, THIS WORKED PERFECTLY!!!!! THANKS SO MUCH!
Awesome
Thanks for the help. I used throttle body cleaner and cleaned the jet out until I get the replacement parts. Started right up. Thank you.
Thank you so much. I also was able to fix my lawnmower using your video. This is a great resource and I am highly recommending it to those who want to do DIY lawnmower repair.
Awesome
Outstanding video. Concise and well filmed. The hint about taking photos as I disassembled the carb made the job even easier. If I may contribute one thought...I would recommend removing the dust cover. Doing so makes reassembling the carb much easier. Of course Toro had to use to "star" screws that are tough to access, but it removing it was worth the trouble.
Thank you I had bought a brand new toro recycler in 2016/17 used it for 1 or 2 seasons starting working a lot of OT didn’t have time to take care of the yard hired a landscaper for the last 2 or 3 yrs never used my mower since this yr I have time but my mower wouldn’t start I had the same fluids since 2019 this video helped revive Frankenstein cleaning out the carb cup I had so many particles in that thing ne gas new oil new spark plug 1st pull it sounds brand new thank you 🙏🏾
Awesome
Great video! Mower would not start, but ordered this little dude from Amazon and it started on the first pull!! Thanks a ton! $12 fix!
Glad to help!
20 years ago I bought a new carb for my go-kart because of this. But I just fixed my mower in 5 min. W/ carb cleaner an a run to Chevron. Thanks boss.
Good stuff
Dude thank you!! Second time this "guaranteed to start" mower has failed to start for me. I did this and it started up the second pull. I'm smiling so hard right now lol I have definitely entered adulthood to be this giddy 😂
Great to hear!
@@D-MAN107 so it worked the first cut and then the next week it ran for about 2 strips of grass, thought it sounded funny so I shut it off, then fired it up again and now it just dies after a few seconds of running. Any thoughts?
Excellent video. Much appreciated. I didn’t need to change my jet….just drain the bad fuel etc. I’m back up and running. Thanks bro 👍🏽
I followed all of your steps and advise. It took me three hours but it runs like new. The gas, jets and carb had dirt in it. A big thank you to
Glad it helped
Beauty. Mine’s under warranty, but thanks for saving me the hassle of having to bring it in. Clear instructions- runs like a dream now.
Glad it helped
Thank you for your simple to understand video. I am no mechanic, but my lawnmower is back up and running within a half hour as you stated.
Great to hear!
Had a machine come in and This video definitely solved the problem! I was never going to figure the carb had a main jet. The electric choke had me puzzled aswell. Liked and subscribed🙌🏽
Awesome
you showed me how to fix my Toro with your expertise instructions. Many thanks for your easy to follow instructions. Charlie
This is very helpful. Mine is a 190cc engine but has the exact symptoms you specified. I'll look the part number for the Briggs n Stratton and use your guidance. Thank you.
Praise God! This worked! You saved us $300.00+ We were ready to buy a new lawn mower. Thank you for your excellent video.
Awesome glad it worked out👍
I want you to know ur the best. I picked a lawn mower up that was in the garbage, it looked brand new so i grabbed it. I didnt know if it worked. It didnt so i watched this video and i now have a working toro one start. 1 easy pull and it starts. I priced it and it was $550.00. Not bad for a free mower. Thanks again.
Awesome
I am not mechanical but I will try this to fix my Toro /briggs mower. you are a very good instructor for sure.
Man this helped so much. Did this repair and first pull of the rope started up like new!!! Thanks!!!
Loved the way you explained everything, slowly and clear. I have the same issue and will try to fix mine now.
Thank you
You're welcome!
thank you so much. son and i washed out the jet and carb. started right up. just got it before winter and first start up (x1000 pulls) didnt work. your directions were perfect to the T.
Glad it helped
I'm diabetic so I have syringes. I did what u showed but used a syringe to poke at and clean the jets and my mower started right up and ran great. Thank you.
Awesome
Thanks for the step by step instructions. I didn't have to buy a new jet, just cleaned with air hose and put it back. Great video.
Glad it helped
