I have a brand new Super Recycler (model 21386, SN 409164423) with a Briggs engine (model 104M020254F1, SN 2008191917003) that sputters while mowing. It started doing this the first time I mowed and appears to be a common problem among other owners. I contacted my local Toro dealer and they said it’s probably a dirty carb (after only 15 minutes of use?) or bad gas (I used fresh non-ethanol, 91 octane). Another person with the same issue had his repaired and said there is a service bulletin on it. His carburetor was replaced and it fixed the problem. His repair receipt said “See bulletin DSB-113/DBS-114”. I have no way of looking up service bulletins. Can anyone tell me what they say?

see if you can find it with this.
No service bulletin info came up, just user manuals. Thanks though.

Keep grinding at your dealer to fix or get you another model. This is known issue so get something with a Toro engine instead. If you want to store vertically put shut off valve in fuel line (I did) and it will store nicely. Get rid of Mr. Sputter asap my dealer told me to stay away from B&S engines on Toro's
That’s a great idea.
If you touch it the dealer may say they are not responsible. Take it back to the dealership.

I was referring to adding a shut off valve to a Toro engine that would be on a different mower. Not saying to do anything to his current sputtering mower.

I raised the rpm to 3200 and it helps alot. I'm also looking at getting another carburator.
