OT - lawn mower question

Recommended Posts

Hi,

long time, too busy with other things in life.

I know, I have to make better judgement calls and work on the P15.

Anyway, finally had the idea to work on the Toro 800 lawnmower that was flooded. Really didn't look at it until two weeks ago.

Still had water in then cylinder and oil reservoir.

Took the oil out and emptied the cylinder and sprayed PB blaster in it as the cylinder seems stuck.

Just took some parts off to see whether I could get some movement.

The blade turns but the cylinder doesn't move (looking through the sparkplug hole).

So I was under the impression that the blade would be rotating via a belt (?).

Then took the top off (the part with the wire to start the engine with).

Then tried to turn that and that moved.

But the cylinder still doesn't move.

So now I am wondering how that would work?

I would think that pulling the startwire would move the cylinder at all times.

Anyone knows how this works?

I probably need to open the engine but was hoping for a lucky streak and get the engine running without opening up.

Thanks for any advice on the Toro !

John
