I just want to say thank you. I cleaned the filter and the mower no longer " hunts and surges" . I have also purchased a new filter for future use. Thanks again to the people of this forum!

I have the filter : it is a honda filter 1720-288-901 Is there a generic filter to replace this? Here is a pic, I don't know what a "dirty" filter would look like.

The mower has been hunting and surging for over a year now, but I will check the fuel and get a new filter. Hopefully the filters are not hard to find.

have cleaned a couple of carbs on older lawn mowers - this one is a troybilt with Honda engine. It is a newer. I found this video, but I am not sure if this is in the same unit or not. Any advice?

My father has this lawnboy : Tru-Start Lawnboy 6.5 ft-lbs gross torque. Powered by Kohler 149cc with Smart Choke 20 inc mulching/rear bagging mower Model number 10605 / 10625- serial number 311000001 Its an older model, maybe 10 years plus. He took it to a lawn mower repair person years ago...

I love this video, watched it many many times.

Ok, that is what I was thinking next. I was going to try some gorilla tape until I can get a new one - the season for lawn cutting is just about done here anyway.

Tried the crimping, it didn't work. Not sure if I can buy a new crimp for it or not. If not, I am going to have to think of another way.

Thank you, I will try that. I was also thinking about that flex tape or that tape that is supposedly as hard a steel when used? If not, maybe a small hose clamp (not sure if they make them that small though...)

Please see the attached picture. My choke cable sheathing moves from the housing each time I try to use it. IF I hold it in place, it works, but I would like to fix it if possible.

I didn't think I was being impatient, I was just stating that I wasn't being idle and I couldn't seem to find the model number. I didn't want anyone to think I didn't put in some effort is all. Sorry if it came across as such.

Well, I have had no luck finding the model/serial number for this. I have checked underneath, the bag, the underpanels - everywhere a layman would look, but I can't seem to figure this one out.

Unfortunately, there is nothing under there. I took a pic to be sure. Can you think of anywhere else maybe?

I have Toro, but after looking at it from several angles, I cannot seem to find the model or serial number for it. I have included a host of pictures to see if anyone can identify it. I think it was for commercial use, and there is a scratched out number "Something-something-ZERO" on the front...

Got it, thanks for the tip. I checked the Lawnboy site and found the carb exploded view.
