Questions & Answers

my toro want start

Asked by: 5222

I was lucky to find mower on the curb. I picked it up didn't start, I check spark plug, filter and fresh new gas but nothing. As soon I disassemble carburetor and clean it. Place it back on and start like a champ. Honestly I find in mint condition. The reason for the carb many people leave entire winter season with gas instead drain it and turn it on until the mower dies. Now days gasoline has corn ethanol which turns to water. Leaves a little residue of oil that clogs the lines and little exits for fuel to travel in the carburetor. I wish corn ethanol wasn't made because is one the reasons machines fail. Which many dealers prefer it because is business to have clients keep coming back. Same as automobile fuel filters, fuel pumps, fuel injectors and fuel lines, head valves, then you have misfiring codes and or catalytic converter fail or o2 sensors. Once again check carburetors and clean them or drain the entire fuel system for winter season. There is YouTube videos how to disassemble carburetors.

is the engine a Briggs or a kohler? You list both.

Asked by: Soledad

Model 20378 is a Kohler. When buying, check the box model number to the store shelf information. It would have been easy for me to take wrong box because the boxes all look the same with no engine description on them. Even with knowing this, that's the first thing I checked when taking out of box.

Rated 1 out of 5 by Zipp0 from I bought this model from Home Depot 3 years ago, and have regretted it ever since. If you want to... I bought this model from Home Depot 3 years ago, and have regretted it ever since. If you want to pull all of your hair out by the second season of ownership, this is the mower for you! Any thick grass or even grass just a little tall will choke this mower to a halt in minutes. Grass even a tiny bit damp? Forget it! This thing is terribly underpowered. Also, the front wheel drive system is a terrible design. Grass clippings will get sucked up into the mechanism by the belt and cause constant jams and will soon break the belt. (mine has broken and now it jams so much I gave up) Also, if you have even the smallest hill, do NOT get the front wheel drive. The weight is all on the back wheels when going uphill, so the front wheels just spin. On the plus side, the engine is easy to start and seems reliable (but underpowered) I just replaced this with a much higher end Honda, also from Home Depot. Hopefully that will decrease the frustration level.

Rated 1 out of 5 by Grumblecakes from DO NOT BUY this mower. Useless, even 1.5 years in! As other reviews have pointed out, this is a terrible mower. From DAY ONE it has never started right (takes 4-5 pulls, instead of the promised two). "Guaranteed to start" is more of a guideline. I purchased this 8/24/13, so roughly a year and a half old. Will not start, first time I'm trying to mow this season! I even had it serviced last September (roughly 13 months in) due to same issue. They say the carburetor is probably dirty. This early? I've tried cleaning every part of the mower I can get to, but still no luck! I even removed the gas drain screws under the air filter, saw a bit of goo come out, but seems clean now. And yet, no starting. And yet, a mower I bought in 2001, which I gave to my brother when I moved out of state for a while, has zero problems at all. Craftsman, with Briggs & Stratton engine. That mower has never needed to be "run dry" or anything, in nearly 15 years. Still perfect. And yet THIS mower? There is no level further to which I could recommend AGAINST this mower.

Rated 5 out of 5 by Matt from Excellent Lawn Mower This morning, I bought the Toro Model 20371 front-drive 22" cut lawn mower with the Kohler engine to replace a 16-year old Craftsman front-drive 22" cut lawn mower with a Kohler engine. After 16 years, the front-drive transmission had gone bad and the plastic gas tank cracked. I brought the Toro home, read the manual, added the supplied oil and fresh gas and it fired up on the first pull. I proceeded to cut the grass (2400 square feet of bermuda on uneven terrain) and the large rear-wheels helped to prevent the scalping problems I had with the Craftsman as it had small rear wheels. Initially, I was concerned that since the Toro's grass bag was smaller than the Craftsman, I would have to stop more often to empty the bag. This proved to be false as the Toro cuts the blades into smaller pieces. Overall, I am very happy with the Toro. Of note, while the mower does have a one-piece handle, a telescoping handle would be nice to have when it comes to storing the mower.

Rated 1 out of 5 by John from Dont buy this mower. I used this mower one season 4 times on a tiny yard. stored it in garage. now time to mow and it wont start. tgmhe guarantee to start is a lie. i used it 4 times! home depot wont do anything after 30 days. i dont blame them. but, why do they let loyal customers purchase crap. i made sure it had gas, oil and did everything correctly. i have a blister teying to start it lol. just buy a honda. the extra money is worth it. now i basically have a mower i bought last year used 4 times that is just taking space in my garage. i posted a pic of my yard so you can see how small it is. what a disappointment. Thanks Toro!

Rated 1 out of 5 by RVATrav from Kohler Engine Is Weak Link I've used this mower for two years. It starts fine and features work as they should. The issue is the fuel tank on this Kohler 149cc engine. After a few months the fuel cap became very hard to put on the tank and fuel began to leak out of the top. I placed an order for a replacement fuel tank and after a backorder issue, installed it. After limited hours this replacement Kohler fuel tank is having the same issues. When measuring two different diameters of the opening, one diameter is 3/16 of inch smaller. I've had no luck contacting Toro customer service or multiple local Toro dealers, but there isn't a recall and they have no additional advice. I've recently e-mailed Kohler, but this is frustrating with fuel leaking all over the mower each time it's in use. When chatting with the home depot employee last year, he said he had the same mower, but with the Briggs & Stratton mower. I wish I had purchased that model.

Rated 1 out of 5 by Brandon from Avoid this mower... 2 years after purchasing this mower I pull it out and it won't start. I've taken very good care of this mower and stored it properly every winter. I've tried everything imaginable and it will not start. I expect at least a 5 year lifespan out of a $300 product. Highly disappointed...

Date published: 2019-04-07

Rated 2 out of 5 by disappointedcustomer from Do not recommend.... I bought one of these and it worked fine for (1) season. After that it was hard to start and eventually worsened. Now it won't start. Waste of money and time. I am switching to a different company brand name. Seems like the newer products are designed to fail.
