I have a Toro 20487 Super Recycler mower with Briggs OHV engine. (similar to Briggs 122602 OHV engine models) Has Walbro LMS carb on it with no mixture adjustments on it. Mower had been sitting and would not start. Took the carb off and cleaned it out. Put it back together and now it starts fine, but it runs too fast and it seems the governor is NOT working. The spring and the governor shaft seem to be connected OK. the governor lever will move back and forth if i move it. The one thing i noticed when i had the carb off, is the throttle shaft seemed loose in its bore. the foam gasket was still at the top, but it had been there awhile. What do i check next? Even if i manually pull the throttle back at the carb, it still seems to run to fast and will not go down to idle. Should the throttle shaft have that much play where it goes into the carb?
Throttle spring could be broken stretched or missing
SOURCE: No compression release; can't turn over
well if you can pinpoint the leak you may be able to repair it. if you test the compression in the engine you can tell if the rings or valve are bad. you need a specail tool to test compression, $45. let me know what you find

You have carburetor problems. Chances are the diaphragm needs to be changed and the carb. needs a good cleaning. If you need tips on carb. cleaning, let me know.

SOURCE: toro recycler will run until primed gas is consumed.
The problem is that the gas that sat in the carb all winter glazed it over and gummed it up. Begin by going to any auto parts store, like an aiutozone, and getting a bottle of carb. cleaner. Seafoam is one I use. Add it to your gas, one ounce per gallon of gas. Also, pick up a can of engine starting spray.
Remove the air filter and spray the engine starting spray into the air intake. Pull start the engine and give it additional squirts of engine starting spray until it runs smoothly.

check the coil by pulling the plug and lay it against the head put the plug wire on pull the handle if it sparks then its not the coil another thing you can try is spay carb clean or starting fluid in carb see if it starts if that starts it then the float in the carb is stuck if i can help further e-mail me @[email protected]
