I bought this Toto mower from a neighbor I was told the mower has not been used. I checked the oil, the oil looked clean and clear almost too clean (like when the engine runs low or out of oil they add new oil after it quits running. I cleaned the carb it had brown powder and rust in the bowel, with the air cleaner removed, on the first pull one backfire, after a few pulls it started with smoke out of exhaust then stopped smoking and stalled. The only way to keep the engine running was to keep the choke closed (with a screwdriver) less than the Vacuum auto choke even after the engine was warmed up it would only runs on a rich mixture, after about 20 minutes it would stay running, when I tried to mow the engine had no power and stalled....when it was running I could hear a sound I have never heard before like high pressure air leak each cycle not constant. Please help, Thank you.
