Toro 20622 worth fixing?

[Guilford]

I have a 1988 toro 20622 mower I picked up for $35. Has not ran in years. Took the carb apart my self, cleaned it out, still has compression and got it to run. Runs on full throttle rough and dies when I decrease throttle. Has the blade clutch but is missing the belt for it. Your opinion matters, should I take in to service or sell it? I don't have money for a brand new mower FYI

If it has the Suzuki engine and the engine has plenty of compression, you can't go wrong fixing it. The engine is worth more than what you paid for the mower.

I would fix it. Look on eBay for a new carb.

I don't think it's the 2cycle

I'm sorry, you are correct. It is a 4 cycle. I didn't notice the oil dipstick behind the starter handle.

I already looked up a new carb on eBay and it's $80-100. I would try another good cleaning or a rebuild first before replacing the carb.

I wish there was a cheaper carb that could be used on this engine lol

I read that a Honda one works on the 2 stroke, not sure about the 4 stroke. I'm going to try it out a knockoff Honda engine's carb on my 4 stroke suzuki and see how it goes . The advantage there would be that carbs can be bought on ebay for under 20 bucks sometimes.

Please let me know how that works out! I would definitely make that switch if it works
