I have a Toro 521 Snow thrower model 38052. My problem is that my
machine, needs to have me press the Primer button every 2 seconds for
over 5 minutes to let the machine start up. I know to have the
machine start with full choke and the machine on fast.

Is there something I can adjust so I don't have to do this. What
happens is, if I don't do this, the machine dies. However, it is easy
to start and will continue to run, as long as I keep pressing the
Primer button.

The next problem is that after a while of running, it starts to need
me to press the primer button again, or it will stall. So I end up
having to have the machine rest for an hour.

FYI, I have had this winterized every year, and this problem has been
occurring for 2 years. I am mad, because the repairman says, that
since the problem does not occur in the warmer weather,
when I get it "pre-tuned" for season, that there is nothing I can do.

If I try to get it tuned in the cold weather, it could take weeks to
get the machine back.

So my solution is to have someone tell me, if there is some how, a
way to get more fuel to the machine, so the Primer does not have to
be pressed.

I found out how, I got an electric model. Starts first time every time.

Also a good excuse not to do a neighbors drive while they are away. The
cord won't stretch. :-)


I counted how many times it takes. It takes over 300
times of pressing the Primer button to finally warm the machine up,
so it will continue.

Thanks much,
