Re: Toro Mower W/ 6.5 Tecumseh Bogging Under Load

Hi, thanks for the reply.  there is no throttle lever.  The only control is the bar which kills the engine when you release it, and another bar which activates the self-propelled feature.  The engine, as far as operator control, is either on or off.  Did i understand your question correctly?

Toro Mower W/ 6.5 Tecumseh Bogging Under Load
#2   Apr 17, 2016 9:28 pm
Hi,  I spent the afternoon unsuccessfully "fixing" my mower.   It had an extremely low idle which I corrected by running the idle screw in 1/4 turn at a time until the RPM came up just enough after the engine was running and warm.  The next problem is that any load at all beyond a very small amount of grass just bogs the machine down.

I have-
Replaced air filter
Cleaned out fuel bowl and entire carb with carb cleaner(completely removed)
Cleaned spark plug
Fresh fuel

I can make the RPM increase by moving the governor leaver rearward but it will not do it on its own.

This mower has no manual adjustment, its on or its off.  There are of course the fine adjustment screws and such but nothing I have done adjustment wise has changed the under load RPM.

I have taken the time to search but I have not found a description matching what I am experiencing.  Looking for advice, please.

Thanks for any help!
