Hi,
I have an issue that has stumped my local repair shop for years. Also, I did not see my issue mentioned here or online anywhere.
I have a Toro 6.5 GTS personal pace mower walk behind from around 2004. I love this mower and it has been great for a very long time. I believe the engine is a Tecumseh.
Over the last few years - after a service, it started a new issue. It starts up just fine and seems to run normal until you put any load, even a half a strip of grass and it dies. If I run it for awhile - maybe 5 min, once it is hot it has all the power it normally had and works perfectly.
I did quite a bit of research, and tried several things with absolutely no improvement. I cleared the gas cap vent, replaced the coil, cleaned the carb, and of course I keep it tuned and oil changed regularly.
Anything else I should consider? Perhaps the governor? Can it be cleaned or replaced? I would love to get this thing back to start and mow condition.
Thanks in advance.
