Toro 20023 Personal Pace Linkage Problem
Original Message May 22, 2006 4:43 pm |

Mowed lawn for a half hour today and suddenly the engine would get to full power and now only runs at about half usual RPM's. I have confirmed the problem is related to the linkage. But I can't find the problem. The bail for the throttle linkage seems to be work fine from the handle bar to the left side connection at the engine. But after that the linkage going accross the back of the engine on to the carbuator shows no movement at the carburator when the bail is engage.
I need your help. Has anyone else experienced this problem or worked on the Toro which had this problem? If so, what is the likely problem and what is the best way to fix it.
Thanks for the help.

Thanks buttlint, I think you are right on with your bent control bracket arm theory. I think I will take it to a local shop for repair since it sound too important for getting the RPM setting right for me to mess with it. Well at least I learned a leason for the next time I mow around our bushes. I must, however, that the Toro design for this mower leaves alot to be desired if simply hitting a small branch makes the carbuator linkage screwed up. You would think an item this importantcewould be given better protection from the inevitable bangs and scrapes. Thanks sgain buttlint. I must say you have an interesting screen name!!! |

the problem seems to be with the linkage wire that is looped at the carbuator and goes to the back of the engine under the gas tank. This linkage wire is very limp and provides no resistence to the sping connected to the crontrol arm. Any ideas as to what maybe causing this? What does the repair involve should this need fixing? Thanks again |

At my age,"limp" is really a four-letter word
