Sounds like it is too lean and you need to learn how to adjust the carb.
If you do not have the manual, download any manuals you can find from
Toro. They have a manual for mine from 1979, so they should have one for
yours.

David,

The power adjusting screw needed to be adjusted. Now, it works fine.

Thank you very much...


Some followup questions....


1) There is something called the "Fuel Shut-off valve. Obviously, needs to be "on" when machine is
running. Should I keep it "off" when machine is not in use?

2) It seems that I can never keep choke off, or even at 1/2 choke to keep running. If this is not
okay, what should I adjust...

Here are terms that I have in my booklet. Maybe you could use these terms, if necessary...


- Power adjusting screw.
- Idle Mixtture screw
- Idle speed screw.
- Full choke, half choke & choke off
- Primer button.
- Full throttle

Thank you for your help and patience....
