Question by chef4133: My toro lawn mower will run for 5 secs and then stall out. Please help.?
I have a Toro GTS 6.0hp lawn mower. Model #20023. I can’t figure out why it keeps stalling out. I have changed the spark plug, cleaned the caribrator, cleaned the gas tank out, put a new fuel line on and nothing has worked. Please help.

I am a mechanic and it sounds like you covered the bases, might check the coil or the pick up. There can’t be much else that could fail. (carburetor)
You don’t mention the fuel filter. It sounds like you are not getting an adequate supply of fuel to the carb. Check where both ends of the fuel line attach for a small obstruction like an insect or a seed. Not in the line itself, in the fitting the line attaches to.

How did you clean the carburetor? It needs to be removed, taken apart, and soaked in a good parts/carb cleaner. Than put it back together with a rebuild kit. Make sure the gas tank is clean while your working on it.
Have you checked for spark? Try this: remove the spark plug boot from the plug- put a small metal paper clip into the boot – set it against a metal ground ( engine block ) – have a freind pull on the start cord and check for a bright blue spark- if it isnt, then the coils going bad – it happens.
How good did you clean the carb? Did you remove it, disasemble it – thouroughly clean it , reassemble and adjust it?
What about a new fuel filter as well? I dont bother with those cheep plastic ’screen’ filters – i use the higher quality paper type ( automotive type), because they filter more.
