I have a 6.5 hp toro lawn mower. starts, but shuts off. Gas primer button must be pushed continuously to keep it going. EVen after 60 seconds of priming and the engine running it shuts off. What can I do?
How do you fix the diaphram? I have a Toro 6.5 lawnmower. We cleaned the carburetor and we can't get gas to fill in the carburetor. We can't figure out how to get behind the primer??How do you fix the diaphram? I have a Toro 6.5 lawnmower. We cleaned the carburetor and we can't get gas to fill in the carburetor.

It would be best to take this machine into a dealer like www.arcolawn.com and have the thermostat checked out. There were some early autochoke thermostats that would stick and cause problems.Best wishesJoewww.barter-joes.com
The engine is starving for fuel, that is why it will keep running while you force the fuel to the engine with the primer button. At this point, the carb will have to be removed,disassembled and cleaned. I'm sure you will find blockage and dirt in the carb and also in the small orifices for air and fuel flow.
You have a clog in the gas flowing into the carburetor. Get some carb cleaner (the spray kind is fine). Drain or siphon the gas out of your mower and discard. Put a little fresh gas and a little carb cleaner in the tank. Run it through. Do this a few times if necessary. When you get new gas, add a gas stabilizer like Sea Foam.
One lever is to make it go - wheels will turn & pull the mower..
The other lever is to keep it running - it this lever is released it will shut off..
This is the lever you need to keep pushed for it to start..
When starting - there should be a rubber push button on the engine near the carb.. Push it 4 times before starting.. This pumps gas into the carb for quick starts.. Good luck ;o)
