Toro Personal Pace Engine
Good morning, everyone!
Before I explain the issue I'm having here's a description of my mower along with model #s, serial #s, etc.
It's a Toro 22in recycler with the personal-pace drive.
Model #: 20076
Serial #: 270021680
The engine is Tecumseh.
Model #: LV195XA
Spec: 362086E
DOM: 07045GG1319
I'm assuming the carb is a Series 8 but can't be sure. I've attached a picture of it as well as a picture of the control bracket. Two screws attached the control bracket to the carb but nothing was attached to the bracket.
At one point I noticed that it seemed to have lost some power while mowing, almost like it wasn't getting up to speed. So like an idiot I turned the screw on the carb until it sounded brand new and went on my merry way.
This year, I fired it up it sounded fine. But once I mow for a little while, when I disengage the blade the engine revs up like it's going 20mph. If I engage the blade it sounds normal again. I thought I should put the screw back to where it was (I wrote down how much I turned it) but now I have the same behavior, just at a slower speed.
Obviously I screwed something up so I made sure I performed all routine maintenance items by-the-book and then found this forum to ask for help.
Does anyone have any thoughts on what I should check, adjustments that need to be made, etc?
Thanks in advance for any advice you can give!
Chris
