Someone should invent and patent an Auto Choke "Plug" for Honda. The older HRX choke plate is wide open when cold. Too lazy to fix WAX thing so have used various stuff to jamb choke closed so it will keep running after starting it with starting fluid with the air cleaner removed. Cedar Branch...
I set my Toro Electric Start mower out front and put a note on it "free - works - try it out!" - It was gone in less than an hour! I wonder if they were able to make it run cause I couldn't. Maybe they just use the $200 of new parts on it to fix theirs!? Anyhow - I have a Shindaiwa T242 Line...
Thanks Guys. I started using the $20 per quart non ethenol gas from H Depot in my line trimmer that I only fire up twice a year. So far so good. I guess I will have to start schlepping around a 5 gallon gas can to a gas station a few miles away that suposedly sells ethenol free Gas. I thought...
Bought top of the residential line Honda HRX with 200 cc Engine (NOT electric start) Bought it to mow 8,000 Sq Ft of horrible "lawn" at rental house. Seattle so there's maybe 3 mows a year where the grass is even "semi-dry". Usually 6-7" Soaking wet grass on really rough dirt. Area was never...
Sorry For New Post. Read thru 7 pages for info. Forum searches never work for me. Anyhow - We have 10% ethenol year round in WA state (Nice scam someone is getting mega rich from).
I have never done anything with my push mowers and they seem to start in the spring. Does Ethenol Kill small 2...
Toro Recycler ELECTRIC START Model# 20374 Ser# 400745059 Clone Eng# 1P65F-2. Bought this used about 9 months ago. When I first tried it was amazing. BUT then after emptying bag for 4-5 time and engine was warmed up it became harder and harder to start until it would not start at all. Prob had...
Hi - Ive had a Honda Hrr VKA steel deck GVC160 that I bought used. Its been great. Just got a used 2017 Toro Recycler electric start . Seems like steel deck on honda smoother underneath. Surprised amount of grass buildup under toro but it was tall wet grass. It bagged it fine.
Leaning towards...
I hadn't fixed a small engine since early 70's. Back then it was a bad capacitor and you had to pull flywheel to get at it. So my honda gvc160 wouldn't start and I remember it being harder and harder to start last fall. My neighbor asked me if I could fix his Toro w/Tecumseh Eng. I figured it...
Hi all,
Thought I got a great deal on C List for once but.....Toro Recycler 22 with electric start. model 20374. Seems a little slow to fire up when cold. Runs good, seems powerfull, good cut and bagging. Probably mowed for 20-30
minutes then would not start. Or it would take a long time to...
