I adopted the Toro S620 Electric Start Snow Blower. It's been regularly maintenanced by the prior owner (family). I can't get it to start and don't have the electric start cord available. When I pull the cord it sounds like it's just about to turn over and start the engine but never gets there. Is it a spark plug? How can I fix myself? Thanks!
SOURCE: Cannot pull the cord more than 6 inches to start Toro lawn mower.
Hi Patti, If you can not pull the cord more that what you said, try removing the spark plug and see if that makes a difference, if not, leave the spark plug out to prevent accidental starting, raise up the front of the mower and see if you can turn the blade if not...it only gets worse from there. If you can't turn the blade from under the mower, the engine is more that likely seized up, sorry

It sounds like the starter drive may be jammed. It should not be engaged unless you are using the starter motor. Take the spark plug wire off, put on heavy leather gloves, and try turning the blade by hand to dislodge the starter drive. If it does dislodge, plug the spark plug wire back up and try the pull start again.

you'll need to pull the starter. It sound like your Bendick's is bad. that's the upper gear drive assay. the only other res ion would be, low power to the starter, and not receiving an acquit amount of amp to reach the rpm's it needs. good luck
