I have a Toro 6.75 with a 190cc B&S made in 2009, 22in Recycler® Lawn Mower.
I was wondering if anyone here could watch this vid and tell me what my problem is.
SITUATION: Mower will start but runs anemically and seems to run out of horsepower when it is lowered to the ground. I could keep it on for a pretty long time if I raise up the front wheels but even then it is weak.
RECENT HISTORY:
I put on a dethatching blade and was doing it the proper way (air filter up) but was having trouble getting the bolt loose and in frustration tilted the mower past 90-degrees.
Oil leaked out and went everywhere but I was able to get the old blade off a and put the dethatch blade on.
The mower didn't sound great after this topsy turvey but I was able to cut a 30 yard by 35 yard patch pretty effectively.
But then it started making this dying sound.
I cleaned up the oil on the mower better.
I changed the air filter which had taken on a lot of oil.
Then I went through a frustrating series of putting oil in the oil hole figuring it was too low and then taking it out again figuring I had overfilled (those dipsticks are really hard to read sometimes!).
Then I took out the spark plug and cleaned the contact which wasnt very dirty and there wss no oil in the spark plug socket.
I have taken it out every day since Friday and get the same result as you see in this video. The mower is neither working out its little problem, nor is it getting worse. But it's really unusable.
So what's my problem? Any ideas??
Heres a copy of my manual. https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B6I0kmi0JNv6TXhMVmtOd2xyQVU/view?usp=sharing
If u can help or even point me in the right direction I'll find a way to make it up to you somehow.
