Toro Power Clear 418 ZR - Single Stage Snow Blower - Recoil Questions & Answers
Snowblower won't start
"Gone thru Carburetor" Did you check the Needle valve Seat? The ethanol gas ruins the seat if they are made of rubber and the needle valve is all metal.
Does the Float actually move up and down as it's supposed to? sometimes the ethanol gas absorbs too much moisture and the needle valve or pivot point of the float rusts.
Hi, I would like to know what is the typical compression value of a Kohler 16HP singel cylinder engine?
Yes, decompression lowers cylinder pressure during low rpm while cranking. If you're concerned with compression, you need to do a leakdown test. Inexpensive (~$30) units are available through numerous eVendors. The leakdown test provides a metered volume of air that is translated and displayed on a pressure gauge simply labeled high (excessive leakage), moderate, or low (nominal leakage).
It's an L-head engine and once they get a few hundred hours run time, the valves wear into the hard seat, lash goes to zero, and they become hard to start. You can check valve lash by removing the crankcase breather (two screws). If lash is near zero, time for a valve job. Plenty of how to videos on the web. If it's easy start, just low power then less likely a valve lash issue.
There are many things that cause low power. Bad fuel, water in fuel (fuel bowl), fouled carburetor, poor spark, fouled plug, improper plug gap, wrong plug, weak ignition module.

Toro riding mower stopped moving
If you have no forward, no reverse but the motor is still running normally the most likely reason for this is the main drive belt. This connects the motor to the transmission. If it stretches, breaks or drops off the drive pulleys you will lose all movement.

I have an electric Toro 1500 Power Curve snow blower and it makes a high pitch squeal when I turn on the blower. Possible bearing issue?
Yes, a high-pitched squeal coming from your electric snow blower when you turn on the blower could indicate a bearing issue. The blower motor is typically equipped with bearings to reduce friction and allow the motor to run smoothly. Over time, these bearings can wear out or become damaged, resulting in a squealing or grinding noise.
If you suspect a bearing issue, it's important to have your snow blower inspected and repaired by a qualified technician or service center. Attempting to repair the snow blower on your own could be dangerous and may cause further damage to the machine.

52 toro Z Master 2000 series won't start
There could be a few different reasons why your Toro Z Master 2000 series lawn mower won't start. Here are some things to check:
- Fuel: Make sure that the gas tank is full and that the fuel is fresh. If the fuel is stale or contaminated, it may not be able to properly power the engine.
- Spark plug: Check the spark plug to make sure it is clean and in good condition. A dirty or faulty spark plug can prevent the engine from starting.
- Air filter: A dirty air filter can restrict the flow of air to the engine, causing it to run poorly or not start at all. Check the air filter and clean or replace it if necessary.
- Battery: If the battery is dead or not fully charged, the engine may not start. Charge the battery or replace it if necessary.
- Ignition switch: Make sure the ignition switch is in the "on" position and that the safety switch is engaged.
If you have checked all of these things and the lawn mower still won't start, it may be a more serious issue that requires professional repair.

- Check the spool for any debris or foreign objects that may be causing the line to break.
- Check the line for any kinks or knots that may be causing it to break.
- Make sure the trimmer is properly calibrated and that the line feed mechanism is functioning properly.
