Toro personal pace mower won't restart after engine is hot

Toro personal pace mower starts easily when cold, will not restart when engine is hot

Please tell us which engine you have, as Toro has used 4 different engines on their Personal Pace mowers. Model and serial numbers of both the mower and engine would be of great help.

Next time you have to restar your mower hot, check to see if the choke is still closed. You have an auto choke system and the choke may not be staying open when hot. Second, if the choke butterfly is open, check for spark, the coil may have a hot short or hot open, which will result in no spark until it cools down. Report back.

I agree with Rivets....... I have seen this before and I made a video on that issue.......

Take your filter cover off and the filter.... On a clean area with no dust flying around in the air and
let it warm up real good and look at the carb choke plate......

Kill the engine and wait the same amount of time that the the mower has issues..... Check the choke plate and see where it's at.....

The choke is completely closed when the engine is hot. How do I remedy this?

Where would I find your video post that you mentioned in your reply?
