This Toro Personal Pace lawn mower was left with fuel for a year or two. I cleaned the carburetor, replaced the oil, replaced the spark plug, checked the air filter, and put new gas. When I use starting fluid or prime 5-10 times, it starts. But it won't keep running. It dies after few seconds.
What could be the problem? Please help!
It sounds like you did everything necessary to get it running after it sitting around for that amount of time. I would bring it to the Toro dealer. Its probably something you just can't do on your own.

I have a Toro GTS 6.0hp lawn mower. Model #20023. I can't figure out why it keeps stalling out. I have changed the spark plug, cleaned the caribrator, cleaned the gas tank out, put a new fuel line on and nothing has worked. Please help.
I am a mechanic and it sounds like you covered the bases, might check the coil or the pick up. There can't be much else that could fail. (carburetor)
I have a self propelled toro and when i start the motor it sounds like it should, but when i start mowing it makes a loud knocking noise. Any suggestions?
check the blades, something may get stuck there, or the blades became loose.
I've tried everything, I know they said to change the oil every season. So I tried to suck the oil out with a turkey baster but there is a curve in the oil pipe along the engine and I only got a little bit out. I tried turn the mower over to let it drain but only a half of quart came out and that is all over my living room carpet..geeezzz..another mess to clean...so any suggestions?
There is only going to be a little less than a quart of oil in you machine. approx. 16-20oz. The only way you can drain the oil out is to tip the machine on it's side. Air cleaner up/ oil drain/fill down. As you tip the machine make sure you have a large pan in the right place to catch the oil. NOTE: not an indoor project. Since you have been tipping it. make sure that you check out your air filter, sometimes when you tip it the worng way the filter can fill up with oil, and not let the mower run right. Refill with fresh 30w oil. Wipe up drainage with towel. Newer machines do not have a drain plug. If it does have a drain plug, dont use it. because most likely you will overtighten it/ stripping it out. and it will leak.

Shennie, you are hilarious !
We have been using plutonium in our Lawnboy for yonks Rusty, the only drawbacks so far have been the fallout of the Briar patch and a ceaseum in the moving parts of the fish pond.Apart from that most things are fine, the conversion is like changing your car over from low grade to premium gas with a bit more care involved. If Strontium 90 is your poison I say go for it and let the neighbours know when you are about to go mowing so they can revert to the shelter,,wooses.
Happy mowing,

For a comparison, i bought a 2006 48" John Deere Hydro walk behind at the end of last year for $1700. It has roughly 150 hrs on it and looks brand new. If I was you and looking for a back up I would check out craigslist and wait for a good price on a decent mower. your back up may be your main mower when yours wears out or you expand. I may be wrong but 2000 hrs sounds like its at about at the end of its life and may be more headaches than its worth.
