Have had this LB for some time. Did not run it last year. Started up and runs well, but self-propelled not working. Is it adjusted in the SP cable, at the top of the mower? Seems like not enough tension when bale is pulled up. Thanks very much. Ed

Toro 20332 starts cold, hard to start hot. I recently purchased a Toro 20332, 2012 model, 7.25 190cc. It has an automatic choke. It seems to start much better when cold. It starts and runs VERY GOOD. When I try to start again quickly, won't start. I notice that there is some oil...

I recently purchased a Toro 20332, 2012 model, 7.25 190cc. It has an automatic choke. It seems to start much better when cold. It starts and runs VERY GOOD. When I try to start again quickly, won't start. I notice that there is some oil seeping out of the dipstick o ring. I am replacing...

I recently purchased a Toro, 20370. Overall, good appearance and has bagger, but will not start. Cleaning carburetor shows that bowl was really corroded and I purchased a new carburetor. After installing, still will not start. Has new gas in it, gas flows good into carb, good compression...

I just recently purchased a Toro 20370 recycler. It is front wheel drive, and small wheels on all four wheels. Can I replace the rear (non-pulling) wheels with larger (non-pulling). I am not a fan of front drive, but with the larger wheels on rear, they cut much better, especially when going...

My Toro 20018 not running now. It will start, and today it actually blew out a lot of smoke from the air filter, and then stopped almost immediately. I had cleaned the carburetor, but it will only start, and then stop, almost immediately. Any advice on what to look for to get it started and...

Have this Toro 20028, in superb condition since it has been stored for many years. Got new battery, and battery charger. The mower roared to life first time, using key, after install battery. After that, when the key is turned, ONLY A WHINING NOISE, and doesnt start. Any suggestions on what...

I recently bought this Lawnboy 10301 and it started okay, but ran only a few seconds and cut off. I cleaned the carburetor, and thought this was problem. However, it still did the same. I installed a new coil, and thought this maybe be the problem, since it had the original coil installed...

I have a LB 10323 Duraforce that will not self-propell. I have a replacement for the transmission. I have not replaced this previously, and seeking advice. It looks like I can remove the back wheels, replace the transmission and slip on the old belt (which is good). Would this work, or...

My 10323 was runing too fast. Tried turning back, but no luck. Cleaned carburetor totally, and now it wont fire up. It has spark, and noticed gasoline around spark plug. Is this flooded? What is best method to fix? I can fix some things, but still lack lots of skills. Any help will be...

I have this very old Craftsman 148CC Vacuum Shredder Bagger, and has sat for 8 years. Tried cleaning carburetor, but soaked it overnight, and it is still a mess. Found a new carburetor and installed it. Changed oil, new plug, and it starts on first pull. HOWEVER, it runs a few seconds and...

Need a little more advice on the above. I had a hard time starting it, but cleaned carburetor, new plug, clean filter, and it starts after priming it 3-4 times. I cut the front yard today, and ran really good, no poblem at all. However, after it starts and runs, it will not start, without...

I recently purchased this LB off Craiglist for $25. Decent looking Self Propelled, 4 HP mower, Green Series. I have to use starter fluid to start it. After it starts, it runs very good, and does not stop until I release the brake. I cleaned carburetor, has a good air filter, and apparently...

I just recently purchased this LB, and only used it twice. Seemed cut very good. HOWEVER, today when mowing the grass, smoke (lots of it) came out of the muffler, and it stopped running. Is the piston causing the problem? Thanks.

I purchased this LB a few days ago. Supposedly needed a new pull rope. However, the spring and rope appears to be okay, except that the rope seems too long. I was going to shorten it, but not sure what the correct size for the rope should be. Anyone know the length of the pull rope for a...

I have a Lawnboy 10607 that has sens a speed. When I engage the cable to make to self propelled, it will not move at all. I have adjusted the cable, and it still just will not engage. Turning the mower on its side, I can see that the spring just does not move forward enough when pressing the...

A while back, I installed a new brake cable on my 10323. Installing the cable looked easy, but it took me some time. When I finally got it on, the pull cord had NO tension at all, and just pulled all the way out. I played around with it some, and sometimes, it did have tension, and actually...

I recently purchased a Lawnboy 10335, and it really looks good. It ran okay, but I put in a new ignition coil, since it had the original from 1999 when new. After replacing coil, and new spark plug, it will not start. It seems to be that it has low compression when I use the pull cord. If...

I have a Lawnboy 10343, that looks excellent, and runs excellent. This 4HP seems as strong as my Duraforce 6.5, and I just love it. However, if I have to cut the engine off, it is hard to start, unless I let it cool some. Can anyone give me some advice to make it start when it is hot? Many...

Previously posted about the 10343 (green series) not cutting off. Had put a "new" coil on it, when all of this happened. Lawnboy dealer said my coil was bad, and it is running and stopping very good now. One further question. The 10343 does NOT have the gator blade with the regular blade...

I have a Lawnboy 10343, Green Series, 4.0 HP, SP, that runs very good. The coil had not been changed in many years, and I replaced it this year. It starts on 1 pull, every time. However, when I do get it going now, IT WONT CUT OFF when I release the brake bale. I had thought maybe the wire...

I have been buying a few of the older Lawnboys, which were 2 cycle. I have learned to clean carburetor, but always had problems re-installing carburetor. Could do it, but very tricky getting air vane through hole, and getting the two long screws into the heat plate. The other day, it dawned...

Regarding my recent purchase of Lawnboy 10343, serial 4906322, 1994 model, Green Series. This mower runs really great when I am mowing the lawn and the self-propelled really pulls it along. However, when I let go of the bale for the self-propelled, it makes noises. As soon as the bale is...

I recently purchased a Lawnboy 10343, Serial 4906322, 4HP, Self propelled mower. It won't start, but whole thing looks in very good shape. I cleaned carburetor, but had Champion rjlm19, and I am sure this is incorrect spark plug for this model. Can anyone tell me the correct spark plug for...

I fix a few things on my Lawnboy, but certainly not an experience mechanic. I think I need to replace the self-propelled belt, and wanted some advice. Can anyone give me some tips on best way to do this? Many thanks. Ed

Hi to all, Live in Richmond, Va., and own a Lawnboy. Have used Lawnboys for the past several years, and think they are one of the best mowers ever made. Have learned a little mechanical knowledge, and can fix a few things when they break down. I have recently rebuilt a Walbro carburetor...
