I just got one to replace my old, beat up Toro recycler. I tried it out today and it seems my tough lawn was no match for this - grass kept on getting stuck between the blade and housing. I had to tilt it on its side several times to remove the clump that was jamming it. With about 10 sqr. feet left, it stopped - yes, had to clear out the clump again but this time it wouldn't start. I checked the fuel level - yes, plenty gas. Checked the plug and re-seated the cable. Still no start on several pulls. So much for guaranteed to start. I finished up with my Ryobi string trimmer and stowed the mower. Hopefully it was a flooded carb and I can get it started next weekend. No priming bulb to be found on this.
The carburetor in that lawn mower sucks . I bought a new one on eBay and the thing would not start the company I bought it from was great about returning it and they sent me a new one . Then that one would not start . Both were not getting gas they would start if I shoot so e starter fluid in the intake but would not stay running . . The second one I got I took the carb off its all plastic I tryed to clean out the main jet but the opening is so small any tiny speck is going to clog it up and there's no gas filter on them . I cleaned out the main jet and it started up . The next time I used it the same thing the main jet was clogged up again so I had to clean it out again after the 3rd time I drilled the jet out to make it a little bigger and put a gas filter on it sinces then Iv had no trouble with it . For the price of theses lawn mowers Toro should put a better carb on them the ones on there now are junk .
Accessibility and ease for cleaning carb, changing oil or maintenance ? Yes , that is a nice brand new mower. Congratulations. "Reviews" like these are a waste of my time.
Piece of crap. After less than a week of use on 2nd one, it starts when it wants to. My 2 yr old MTD 140cc Yard Machine thats probably got over 100 hrs on it starts every pull even without priming. This guaranteed to start wonder is a turd.
next time, lock the handles before trying to stand it up! lol
Did you just cut that shrub?!
+Jeff Otwell Yes Yes he did
Great information. Thanks for your review

Anyone can do a review this days even if you don't know how to do things the proper way.
