Engine not running smooth, stalling
Original Message Jan 30, 2011 2:34 pm

I have a Toro 1028 OXE that I purchased two years ago. Admittedly I've not done the year end routine of maintenance and now it seems to have come back to bite me. The engine has been running very rough this year so today I drained the fuel and added new premium 93 octane fuel, changed the spark plug and for good measure changed the oil. Still the same problem, engine will not run smooth and actually is stalling now after a few minutes at idle. Normally I would just have it in for service but with the amount and frequency of snowfall this year, I can't be without it for a week. Any suggestions for what I should try next would be appreciated.
