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.

after a hard day at trail cutting my mower hit something big, i didnt have the camera on, but i could barely get it out from the blade. amazingly ...

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.

This is a 6 hp lawn mower, by Toro.

It shouldn't hurt it, the warmer it gets the lighter the oil becomes.really something like a straight 30 or 40 weight would be better.
