I've got a Toro Recycler mower with a B&S engine.

At the end of last season I ran it dry and stored it for the winter.


Last weekend I changed the oil and filled it with fresh gas. After a
few starts and stalls, it eventually stayed running. It ran fine for
several minutes and then dropped to about half speed, RPM speaking.


Now it starts on a couple of pulls just like it did all last year, but
it runs really, really slow. It doesn't seem like it wants to stall,
it's just running at a very slow speed and obviously not cutting as
well.


Where should I start looking for problems?


Thanks!


Start with the easy stuff: *Clean out under the mowing deck. *Is it
caked up with dried-on grass?


No.
