    i might think of it quite no longer likely, yet examine the air clear out. The mower could be working too rich. With the mower as new as that's, I doubt if the clear out might already be plugged, yet you under no circumstances understand. that's decrease than guarantee, so take the mower to a Toro qualified restore shop. stable success.

    Is it an old mower? If it has not had a tune-up in a long time, the ignition timing may be off. This would cause a motor to lose power but may not stop it from running.
