Cannot find the primer bulb on my 2014 toro self propelled lawnmower
SOURCE: ENGINE KEEP'S DIEING, PUSH PRIMER BULB AND STARS,
Carburator issue. If you have some mechanical abilty you can pull the carb off else take it to a shop. You probably left gas in it off season. Either the main jet is clogged or the float valve is stuck. Either way, remove the carb, tae off the bottom cover and clean everything out with gum out or a carb cleaner. reassemble and eveything should be fine.

It may just be a matter of adjusting the cable. Sometimes they dont get them adjusted just right from the factory,heres what you do. Locate the plastic shroud in front of the push mower that covers the drive unit.Determine which screwdriver or torx bit is needed to remove shroud and remove it. After removal you will see a pulley with belt around it, as you pull the handle back to engage self propel you should see the pulley move into the belt to put tension on the belt. You can do this with it running to see if enough tension is being put on the belt,if not, locate the cable end where the small bracket holds the cable in place. Loosen the cable bracket and move cable until you have correct tension again,hope this helps.

belts usually come off for a few reasons.
They become loose...stretch or the tensioner moves, Make sure that none of the tightening bolds are slipping. You can dab them with a bit of paint.
when the pulleys are not in alignment or crooked or bent. Eyeball the path from one pulley to another, also make sure the tensioner is in alignment and there are no other obstructions.
good, high quality belts are required, and they must be real drive belts...not regular v belts. If there is a way to watch the belt in operation you can usually see what's going wrong.
On my lawnmower I had to grind some metal away where the belt went from the motor to the transmission. Good luck

Have you checked the belt that drives the wheel? This is more than likely the problem. It may be broken.

You must remove the engine cover (three torx screws) then you can pull the line off the plastic bulb disk and remove it from the cover by pushing the side clips.
Put silicone on the bulb disk and force the bulb on to the disk. I had to use a vice to hold the disk, it is a very tight fit. When you get the bulb on the disk, reinstall it in the engine cover and reattach the hoses. The gas tank hose will probably need to be pushed on to the carberator and the gas tank also. This is hard work but is the only way you can instal the bulb.

The newer models don't have choke or primer and will have a sticker on the side says READY START. Toro uses Briggs 4 stroke engine - all older models have primer bulb on the side.
