If you're using starter fluid and it starts and continues to run, you have a problem with me priming or choke system, whichever one your engine has. Thanks for watching and taking the time to leave a comment. Cheers

The electric start is usually the first thing to go because of improper use, maintenance and cost, at least here in Canada. People end up losing the charger. Replacement batteries are expensive also. I end up usually not fixing these electric start systems due to cost, unless it's pretty new. This just happened to be an easy one. Thanks for watching. Cheers

Thx , agree 😊

Couple of thoughts. Your compression tester must be bad if it's reading 0 but the engine will run. With a compression release, you should still read probably 40-80psi. Use a multimeter to check the voltage of your battery. It should be higher than 13V. If not then fully charge it. Make sure all connections are tight and there is no corrosion. Make sure the connections are not reversed. Is it the proper battery for the mower? Not only does it have to be 12V, it has to have the proper Amperage. Too low and it will not spin fast enough. Hope you figure it out. Cheers

Appreciate it. Thanks for watching. Cheers

You are welcome! Thanks for watching. Cheers

If the battery is fully charged and you're getting nothing, then the power is not getting to the starter. I believe there is an inline fuse if I recall correctly. I would check that fuse first. If that checks ok, you'll need a multimeter to troubleshoot where the power stops flowing starting at the battery and working your way to the starter. Check all the connections to make sure they are tight. Hope this helps

That's correct, you'd have to take the valves out and grind the stems. It's a laborious process

@@brantsmallenginerepairs ah yea, I've done it on an old cast iron 10hp, if it becomes more of an issue, I'll at least check the valve lash in them

@@M.TTT. that is fairly easy to do. As the lash gets smaller though, compression would go down though, not up. Some things you might want to check for high compression or hard to turn over: make sure there isn't oil getting into the cylinder causing hydro lock, check the flywheel key to make sure it's not partially or fully sheared, possible issue with compression release.

@@brantsmallenginerepairs yea, thats what I was thinking, I'll have to double check the oil in cylinder, I replaced the flywheel key as it was very very slightly indented, and yea could be a worn compression release lobe on the crank in there, not sure. The lash would be greater though with wear and tear, so new valves properly gapped may help if needed.

I'm not sure what the output would be directly from the wall. You would think it would have to be more than 13V. Maybe try connecting the charger to the mower and read the voltage from the connections on the battery. If it's not more than 13V there with it plugged in and "charging" then you might have a bad charger. Hope this helps. Cheers

@@brantsmallenginerepairs Thanks. I'll wear it down a bit and see what the voltage is on the battery. Then plug in the Toro wall charger and see if it takes it back up. It's currently 13.2 only because I charged the battery with a small trickle charger. I'm pretty sure that wall charger is toast. I tried measuring it with a capacitor across the terminals too (simulate a battery connected) and still basically < 1 volt.

@@user-iq9qg6lq9x sounds like a new charger is in order or just charge it a couple times a year with the trickle charger

I need to find a replacement charger for my dad's Toro lawnmower. Help lol

@@MeganLavon92 I believe the part number is 136-9126 for the charger. Just search for it on Amazon or Ebay or Toroparts.com

I don't have the starter part number off hand. I returned the mower to the customer already. My suggestion would be to find the engine model number and search on a parts supplier website like Jack's small engines or partstree. Hope this helps.

Not at all. Just pull the cord to fire it up.

@@brantsmallenginerepairs thanks.....

I believe there was an inline fuse but I can't remember honestly. Trace the wiring from the battery to the key and you should find it if there is one. Have you tried charging the battery? I don't believe this model has an alternator to charge the battery. Pretty sure you have to charge it once or twice a season using an AC charger that hooks into a harness near the key. Hope this helps. Cheers

The primer issue is likely the gasket between the carb and air filter assembly. Either replace it or just double it up. As for the starter, it sounds like maybe it's not spinning the engine over fast enough? The lack of priming would make it hard to start with electric start and pull start.

@@brantsmallenginerepairs I got to thinking and by pull starting it, you’re spinning the flywheel faster than the starter. Anyhow, I pulled the plug out and turned the motor over with the electric start, checked the fire on the plug and it was weak. It was a new plug. So I took the Callan off and the gas tank to get to the fly wheel. I noticed a little bit of rust on the magnets so I cleaned them up with steel wool. I tried it and it fired up and has started ever since. I do need to probably replace the gasket between the air breather and the carb though.

I just did a deep clean and it really did nothing I’ll try to charge the battery.

When you say auto push stopped working, what do you mean? Do you mean the self propel system that drives the wheels for you?

So the mower won't start using the electric start? Is this the problem? Just trying to fully understand what the problem is.

@@brantsmallenginerepairs yeah

@@brantsmallenginerepairs I have the toro 7.25 190cc and it starts and runs fine it’s just that the self propel stoped working

I would first confirm the voltage of the battery. It might also need a valve adjustment. Thanks for watching and taking the time to leave a comment. Cheers

Battery charge is good, battery is new and I confirmed the voltage. I thought about valve adjustment, but this isn’t an OHV engine and I’m not pulling it all apart.

If it's similar to this one, the mower actually does not have an alternator for charging. It comes with a wall plug-in charger. There should be a wire harness to plug the charger into to charge the battery. Hope this helps. Cheers

Reverse polarity would still apply power. Spins the starter in the wrong direction. Atleast that's what was going on here. Cheers

Appreciate it Frank. Take care!

Replaced bat Still no start, tested bat, 12v, good but is not charging problem, works by pull start help

@@andreanundal6109 so it's definitely an issue with the electric start. I would start with checking for a fuse and see if that's blown. Next, trace the wiring from the battery to the starter. Use a multimeter or 12V test light and see if you have power at the starter when the key is switched to start. If not then you have an issue in the wiring from the battery to the starter. If there is power then you have a bad starter.

@@brantsmallenginerepairs thanks so much,calling a pro, still will start by pulling

Exactly. The owner seemed to forget this. Thanks for watching and taking the time to leave a comment. Cheers

Yes it was. I didn't notice it at first but you can definitely see that if you look closely. Thanks for watching and taking the time to leave a comment. Cheers

Not in Canada they aren't.

​@@brantsmallenginerepairsAre they 500 dollars in Canada because that's what the lawn mower costs.

That's exactly what I was thinking?

@@RDKZfaq54 you don't have to replace the entire mower because the electric start doesn't work. The pull start still works. Now if you can't physically pull the cord then it's probably worth replacing it. But because I buy and sell for profit, it wasn't worth the extra cost. But thanks for your opinion

Don't recall as this fix was a while ago. Voltage might have been the same, just reversed polarity. Thanks for watching and taking the time to leave a comment. Cheers

The pull rope is always available for use, even if the electric start isn't working. Unless the engine is locked up of course

The pull start is always available, even if the electric start doesn't work. Unless the engine is seized of course.

Thanks for watching and taking the time to leave a comment. Cheers

Is the engine seized? Does the pull rope turn the engine over?

@@brantsmallenginerepairs yes. A friend cleaned up the starter. Recharging the battery. Will try again Sunday. Otherwise starter $126 from b & s. Ty.

They're expensive enough here in Canada. Also, without the ability to charge the battery, you'd be changing the battery every year. It would be dead after winter storage

@@brantsmallenginerepairs I am talking about in my instance. I still have the charger and the original battery (5 years old) is getting much less than 12V. Just from an initial scan on google it looks like they go from $40- $50 on places like Amazon, Home Depot.

I guess I misread your original post. You can replace the battery if it is dead but as you've found out, they aren't cheap. But if you can't pull the rope and need the electric start to work, $50 is cheap compared to $600 plus for a new one with electric start.

Hey! First off, great video. I have a 20067 that's doing the same thing but I don't think it's reversed polarity. I'll investigate and report back. However, regarding the dead batteries, I just brought the battery with my mower back to life from 0.28dcv. Referring to 4:40 of this video, looking at the opposite end of the battery from the terminals, there's a small hole. I inserted a small pick into that and worked it until the plastic cover came off revealing 8 rubber stoppers that I removed and added distilled water. I replaced the 8 stoppers, put the "lid" back in place and connected the smaller battery to my lawn tractor battery (the voltage on the 20067 battery was so low that my battery charger couldn't recognize it) until I was at about 7dcv. I then connected the battery to my charger, the charger recognized it and charged to 12.38dcv. This was all done yesterday (20 June) so I'll find out later how this holds up

This video goes into decent detail about what I described... kzfaq.info/get/bejne/pqeRfbeouMnIpYk.html

Make sure the battery is fully charged. If it's spinning the engine fast enough, then you have a different issue. Try using the pull cord to confirm if it's a starter issue or something else. Search my videos for no start. They will help you diagnose some other reasons.
