Yardman push mower is about 2-3 years old well taken care of. Rear bag mower. $135.00 model. Starts with one pull everytime. When mowing it mows about 6-10 rows starts missing and then quits. Starts right up and then stops about 1 row later. Wait awhile and then mows about 6-10 more rows. Any ideas on how to keep it running.

    put in new spark plug, changed oil, cleaned air filter, In the beginning it seemed to not start and run and i filled the tank with gas and it started and ran easier. Maybe it was the time delay.I was wondering if the weight of the gas would be forced through the system somehow?

It may need a tuneup or ignition module replaced. Check the air filter, spark plug.
Good Day.

No bad gas, new or old in can or tank can always cause big problems. ALWAYS put STABIL in gas can & tanks of all gasoline equipment year around. Before 1st winter cold snap, if you have, put gas stabilizer in all gas containers/tanks! Keep spark plug cleaned. After removing spark plug on a no start it should be wet from getting gas if not check fuel lines. Helps to remove plug try to start several times, blows junk out of cylinder! Clean plug, check gap reinstall. Preventative maintenance cheapest routine on any engine. Lawn equip: Start of season change oil, filter, blow out cylinder, clean plug, clean grass area under deck, sharpen blade. I only run 93 octane in my lawn equip, no problems 8 years, with preventative maintenace! MikeC

Mtd yardman

There is probably a switch in the reverse lever that shuts of the mower. It is probably a normally open switch so when you pull the lever to reverse it pushes the switch closed killing the engine. If you unplug the switch or cut the wires going to it, it would never think it is in reverse and you could always mow.

Yardman 38" 7160 the deck belt is loose

Have you been mowing high grass, and how long has the belt been on? if you have mowed tall grass or belt is older than 2 years old it needs replaced, most don't realize how much a belt stretches from mowing tall grass. I hope this has been helpful.

If you need further help, I’m available over the phone at https://www.6ya.com/expert/steve_f5a6ca85b5d1ffc9

Push mower is sluggish

Sounds like bad gasoline. Try some fuel stabilizer added to the fuel tank. You might want to dump the old gas out first. You can find the fuel stabilizer at any auto parts store.

Where is the model number on the frame of a toro recycler lawn mower?

Toro model plates are white stickers with black lettering. On rear bagging models it is usually under the rear bag flap to the left of the discharge area. On side bag and commercial type units it is frequently on the underside of the plate that is just below where you hold the handle while mowing. On older recycler mowers it was on top of the left rear portion of the deck and usually fell off before the mower was very old.
Good luck!

it sounds like you may have a vapor lock on your fuel tank   there should be a diaphragm on the inside of the fuel cap  that lets air in but not out   it may have an air hole clogged  take the cap apart if you can and clean it real good and put it back together   if that is not it  then the float in your tank may be stuck   or a fuel line filter may be clogged
