Greetings,
My first post on this forum. I have a Toro with a Briggs and Stratton engine 122607-0118-E1. According Briggs and Stratton, this engine was only sold for about 2 years due to ongoing issues.
The issue I’m having is; the flywheel or pulley assembly will occasionally lock up when attempting to pull start the mower. I would then have to release the rope a bit and then pull again but could not get the engine to turn over. The flywheel key is ok. However, the engine will start and run smoothly when turning the flywheel with an electric drill. Any suggestions?
