When you remove the starter shou as IL suggests, you will be able to see if the brake bail is pulling the brake pad away from the flywheel. Only backyard mechanics rely on ohm meters to test spark plugs.

The parts you need are just the air filter cover and air filter. Part numbers 245 & 250 on the diagram I posted. The only reason you would need the other parts post, were if you are going to completely remove and rebuild the carb...

You can call it a clutch, but if you look closely you will see that it nothing more than a CV drive where the more tension you put on the handle, the faster the unit will drive and the blade will engage with very little tension on the handle. Take a look at the manual I posted earlier to see...

Here is the service manual for those drive systems, but I don’t recommend trying to work on it unless you have a better than average mechanical ability. https://www.toro.com/getpub/22446

When was the last time the belt was changed? I’m guessing that it is time to replace it. Please post the model and serial numbers, I should be able to find you a part number and service manual. Slomo, if you knew a little more about the GTS models, you would know they do not have a clutch.

IPL lists the ignition switch as part number 725-13425, which is what your part number 725-06102B should suppercede to.

Are you sure you installed the correct switch? Many look the same, but if you look at the back of the switch, terminals are different. If you want more help, when you post back, be sure to include the model and serial numbers of the unit and the part number of the new switch.

When was the last time the drive belt was changed and the pulleys and idlers were serviced? If it was more than three years ago I would be replacing the drive belt and making sure all parts of the drive system are moving freely and in good condition. Star just beat me in posting a parts...

From my investigation your carb has a Husqvarna part number of 538408201, but is only available in Europe. This is why you won’t find it available in the US. My suggestion is to contact Husqvarna directly or the distributor you obtain your Husqvarna parts from.

First, you need a new mechanic. In my 50+ years of repairing engines I’ve never heard of a fuel leak being fixed by replacing a primer bulb. This guy is the reason small engine techs get a bad reputation. I wouldn’t let him work on my grand daughter’s plastic mower. If this came to me, this...

Two products I’ve used in John Deere units. I prefer the Bentonite because it is a clay base and doesn’t breakdown as easily as the JD grease. John Deere part #AM119608 Tecumseh Bentonite part #788067A/B/C

First, find another JD dealer, yours don’t know $),0=#%. Most D100 units have a transmission which use grease not oil as a lubricant. Since you don’t post the model and serial numbers, located behind the left rear wheel, I can’t tell you exactly what type of lubricant you need. I’m guessing...

Mower model and serial numbers are under the bagger discharge cover. First, I think you got taken by that “mechanic”. You say he replaced both the primer bulb and carb. A new carb will have the primer bulb installed, no need to replace. Second, from the picture, I’m 90% sure that the carb is...

Please provide us with the model and serial numbers for your mower, so we have an idea of which of the 25+ different setups Toro mower you have. Second, where is the fuel leaking, tank, carb, manifold or fuel line.

I see that you have been around this forum for 10+ years, and have posted 5 threads. I think you wound know that we need model numbers before we can help you.
