Thanks

I'm happy to try your suggestions but why wouldn't the problem I described start immediately? It takes 40 - 50 minutes before the problem occurs.

Hi Rivets, I replaced the gas cap and added foam to the tank, per B&G's recommendation, to keep the gas from sloshing . TimeMaster engines have foam in the tank for the reason I mentioned. For some reason mine did not. Anyway, gas does not leak anymore but after about 40 minutes of mowing the...

HI Rivets... I changed the coil last week with an OEM part and set the gap at .010. The motor started right up and I mowed the entire yard without incident . I was a relatively cool day. Today it 89 and mower about half the back yard when the motor cut out again. I noticed gas leaking out...

My TimeMaster gas cap seals sometimes and sometimes not. I have attempted to replace the gasket but still have random leakage. When the cap starts to leak the mower will start to sputter and quit. I reseat the cap and the mower starts right up and runs fine until it starts leaking again...

Are those accessible under the front cover?

Thanks for your input. I purchased the machine from a seller that buys excess inventory from Home Depot. I have been in contact with Toro providing my bill of sale and the manifest from HD to them showing the mower. It was advertised as new display model. It was certainly brand new when I...

No warranty. Any suggestions?

I recently purchased a display model Toro TimeMaster 30" mower. On my first use I noticed a noise similar to something hitting the underside of the deck. The noise only occurs when the blades are engaged and going over a bump or uneven area of the lawn. It will make a very loud noise if I...

I own a 12 year old Toro model 20055 super recycler lawn mower. The mower has been well maintained and runs great. The problem I'm having is the wheel adjustment levers keep breaking. This first started year before last and It was the rear lever first. Replacement is no easy task as it...
