Outdoor Power Equipment (Lawn Mowers, Snow Blowers, Chain Saws and more) Discussions

Sold my single stage snowblower and now I want to but a new one. Would you get a toro 621ZE for 595.99 of a honda HS520S for 689.99? Both have electric start. Thanks in advance, the guys on here know a lot more about this stuff than I do.

Ouch!

This is the first I have heard of this. Makes me wonder if my 421QE is actually fixed after the recall was performed. I never had the problem and I do have and use a fuel line shut-off valve so I'm not overly concerned yet.

There is no recall listed on the Toro site, and a Google search doesn't bring up any references to any problems with this years models.

How about a link to any information you have seen about the problem still existing?

The salesman from Honda/Toro dealer said they were seeing same leaky carborator problems on Toro 621XX.  You have two year warranty on the Toros and hopefully they got your problem resolved.  I think your carborator is fairly cheap (under $20) so you can replace it if it leaks again and you are out of warranty.

OK.

That explains it.

The dealer sells both Honda and Toro (and other brands).  It has more Toro machines on the floor.  It is a fairly honest dealer - maybe I am just too gullible. 

If the fuel leaks when it's out of warranty, it will be covered under safety recall.
