FIXED! Always the simplest thing that you check last and ends up the problem. I removed the pick up tube from the gas tank and disconnected the other side attached to the entrance of the fuel filter. I blew in the hose and watched a chunk of small grass pieces about an inch long that were acting...

The problem that presented acts like a fuel flow problem. After running for 5 to 10 minutes all of a sudden the engine sputters and spits with rpms dropping even though I'm at full throttle. I have to pull the choke to keep it running and while doing so its still sputtering and barely running...

The engine started surging after running and cutting for about 10 minutes. RPMs up and down and then had to engage choke to keep it running but RPMs would still hunt and then it would die. I installed: New carburetor New air filter New fuel lines New fuel pump New fuel filter New gas Removed and...

I just removed the gas cap and pulled it apart to clean it. The vapor hole is clear and the cap is clean so I reinstalled the cap and ran the mower. After 5 minutes with blades engaged the engine spit and sputtered and rpms dropped so I pulled the choke up to keep it running until I could park...

Start simple first. My problem may not be everyone's problem but it sure is a lot cheaper to check the switches first. Just a different way of troubleshooting. Never power wash my mower. It just vibrated loose. It was a simple fix to reseat the plug and my mower is still running great.

What I do? BTW thanks to all that replied

So I bought a new battery and that did not fix the or change the problem. I hooked the new battery up and continued troubleshooting. The solenoid has two posts on top and two blade connections on the side for battery voltage applied when the ignition switch key is turned to start. The other is...

Ran battery cables from truck battery to the mower battery negative and touched the positive terminal on starter. Starter spins so according to your troubleshooting guide I need to go buy another battery. This one is dated Dec 2021. I believe there is another problem with the alternator or...

Ran the jumper from the battery negative to the ground nearest the starter and no joy. Same click sound

Installed the solenoid and hooked battery cables from my truck to the mower battery. I turned the key and still nothing but a click. I can hold the key in the start position and pull the PTO switch up and down to hear a clunk at the starter but it won't turnover. Still nothing but a click.

Battery terminal positive to one side of the solenoid and negative to the other. Solenoid functioned by closing contacts. I also left 12V connected and placed my ohm meter across the top terminals and measured 0V or dead short which means the solenoid is good.

This mower was used just fine to cut half the lawn and then turned off to go get some water. I tried to start it and nothing but a clicking sound. Won't turn over and battery tests at 12.7V. I did the idiot check with arms out, deck disengaged and nothing but a click. Solenoid removed and...

I bought this used last year from a Toro dealer that had just serviced it. It was used (1) time to cut the grass and then my wife tried to start it and it would crank but not turn over. She followed the dealer procedure to start it. The starter got so hot it stuck and then melted wires and the...
