    My mower has been out of commission for 2 weeks, stopped running after taking a break halfway through the mow. It was used, so I started pulling everything apart. Came across your video today, discovered that a spring under the handle was not engaged, so the kill switch was not connecting properly. Put it back on, no tools required, fired right up! Thanks for saving me about 3 hours of work (although I am still gong to clean the carb because it is an old used mower)!

    You probably saved me $100 today!!!!!!!!!!! My similar Toro would not start and would not fire. I changed the 4-5 year old spark plug, no resolution. . I tried starting fluid..........would not even fire on ether. That told me it most probably was electrical. I called my local Toro dealer and they said it would be 3 weeks before they could even look at it and past experience told me it would not be a reasonable charge, even if it was something very simple. My kill switch frame was not bent out like yours. I just sprayed a couple of shots of carb cleaner in the general area down by the engine near the kill switch and...................IT IMMEDIATELY STARTED ON THE FISRT PULL!!!!!!!! THANK YOU!

    I have the same set up. I replaced the carb, plug, filter and fuel. I have fire and I smell fuel in the chamber, have compression and still no start! So, I started digging around the net and came across your video. Nice catch! No one else has even mentioned this! Great video!

    Kill switch circuit is 90% of Toro no spark issues and 70% in terms of mowers in general. Most people will clamp the bar to the handle while troubleshooting but it's much better to try clamping at the switch assembly itself. Saves a ton of diagnostic time and prevents needless parts purchases. Lawn mower coils rarely go bad.

    I saw the picture of the coil and the exact mower, and thought you were going to show how to replace it... great video, but need to learn how to install the coil. My coil cord was cut with a wire cutter, on purpose, so I couldn’t use the mower. I really need to see how to do this. Thank you.

  • @uTubeRazzoo2
    @uTubeRazzoo2 4 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    Good detective work. I have similar problem. Cold, the mower runs fine. Hot, it will not start. Thought perhaps a thermal problem was causing a problem. I bent the kill switch bracket a bit, and it started right up. Thought the problem was solved, but next hot start try failed. Later cold start worked. Could the insides of the kill switch have some small tolerance heat sensitivity? Is the kill switch module by the bracket an item that can be bought and replaced?

    Good informative video! Mine starts but immediately dies. So I've already cleaned the gas tank, lines, carb, etc. But I'm going to clean the choke butterfly and the kill switch. The cables, wires, and springs all look brand new. The only dirty area is around the kill switch. Thanks for an excellent, short, and to.the point video!!!

    Still won’t start.

    Hi I have a Toro with electric start. I clean the carb everything but still not working. I think is something have to do with the kill switch, I wiggle it sometimes it start but sometimes it doesn’t. I know it is the problem but do you have any pointers. Thanks in advance

  • @stevecarter10
    @stevecarter10 7 ปีที่แล้ว

    Great Video on the Kill Switch for the Toro!!! I've been working on one and I could tell yours was bent right away. But can you show me where the Choke is??? If I have to take the carb apart that's no no problem but In order to get the thing to start I had a friend hold the governor back and tried yanking the cord about 5 or 6 time and it started and kept running until I let-off on the kill-switch. I also did something weird just prior....I had the air filter off and tried pushing the primer several times while holding my finger over the red tube that's connected to it. A few times I pushed it with the tube open...And then I plugged the tube a few times while releasing the primer button. Which method helped?....I don't know. Any ideas???

    I have a toro recycler, 6.5hp GTS. I believe it is a techumsa engine, but no label anywhere to confirm. But I cannot get it to start no matter how many pulls I try. I have replaced the entire carburetor assembly (which includes the fuel jet bolt and new bowl), new spark plug, new air filter, and using fresh gas. I have used a spark plug tester to make sure I have spark, and I do have spark. I have ordered a new ignition coil, but not sure if that’s gonna be the fix since I am getting spark. Any thoughts on what I can do next?

    • @IntoTheDirtshop

      Definitely check the compression and then do a leak down test to see if your valves are bent or stuck

  • @MYTOYMAKERZ
    @MYTOYMAKERZ 7 ปีที่แล้ว

    I have seen this problem before your carb most likely needed cleaning regardless. Ok when owners fold the handle down without undoing its cables ties or plastic cable holding the causes the cable to pull against that bracket which bends it like yours was. It's not a tree branch - well it could be but the chances of that are very slim. Just bend the bracket back and you may have to adjust the drive cable also depending if it was pulled also. I have seen this problem on my own toro mowers lol and have yet to learn the proper way to fold the handle - it's called me being stupid more then once lol.
