After sitting unused for 4 years, this Toro Recycler Lawn Mower would not start. No surprise there. In this video I will demonstrate a diagnostic process and repair method that you can apply to almost any non-running lawn mower. In this case, we've got a single-cylinder Kohler engine with automatic choke. I will try to walk you though pretty much the entire process. I hope you learn something that you can apply to your own DIY lawn mower projects.
Thanks for watching!

Just want to say that's outstanding video I have a Toro it was brand new it's probably doesn't have more than 8 hours on it but it's set through the season and the winter time and stuff and it just wouldn't start and you have provided enough information that a monkey could probably do this job.

Great video. Fixed my Kohler powered lawn mower in an hour after watching. Don't have a sonic cleaner just used carb cleaner on all components and it worked.

I once found one in the trash and repaired it. Just as I have done hundreds of times with other mowers before. All the others were resold and hopefully still run well today. This is the only one I kept. Even purchased a new bag. For some reason I like that Kohler. Just looks good to me.

I have a Craftsman Lawnmower with a Kohler 149cc engine. We bought it around 10 years ago from Sears and (bite my tongue) but we have never had a issue with it. It sits outside year round in our Canadian arctic and hot summer months getting snowed and rained on each year. I just change the oil at the start of every spring, check and clean the spark plug if needed. Put a new air filter on it and ( i converted the fuel filter to a external one) check the fuel filter and it is good to go for the season. The only other thing I changed was a fuel line because we had a pesty mouse that likes the taste of rubber and gas. We had to give him a burial ( thank god) because the high octane gas was to much for him. The key to making it last year after year is a little maintenance and some high quality high octane gas. I will be giving this one to my son and getting myself a self propelled lawn mower for all out unlevel yard and older age lol. I will buy another Kohler engine lawnmower again.

good vid. i dont mess with the studs though, jsy two nuts holding on the autochoke and it comes off allowing you to free the carb. Those autochokes are unreliable. . i converted mine to manual

You did not give a chance for your viewer to decide if they wanted to watch you put the parts back into the carburetor. I think you should have left that choice to your viewer

Obviously there is a lot of skill involved in my opinion what you just did. So I'm going to have to get an estimate from the dealer what a brand new carburetor Will cost and bounce that off the option of maybe getting bad and just do a bolt on replacement take the cowards way out another words. But as a side note I am definitely not going to use anything but old-fashioned fuel not this corn fuel and I'm going to completely run it dry every time I put it away if it sits there for 30 minutes to burn everything off I don't care I want it dryer than a popcorn you know what.😊

74 years old and I don't have a table to put it on so you know take that in account before you think I'm doing something I shouldn't. If I lose one or two screws and can't find them then automatically I probably going to have to take it to a dealer anyway and he's going to charge me the dealer's rate per hour and possibly I can get a brand new carburetor for less than two or three hours labor whatever they want to charge So economically I think it might be a wash and so that's what we're going to do and I'll provide feedback and see how that went so everybody is interested will know. Cancer thank you very much.
