Where the Boys are - Lawn Boys part III

17 years ago

For anyone in the North Carolina area (Cary), I noticed a non starting M series, Lawn Boy self propel mower listed for sale in craigslist. All for the tune of $50. Looks to be in good shape, judging by the photos I saw. Contact Shellie.

Then when I realized that it was a Lawnboy, I would take it to the nearest junkyard and just throw it on the pile of Lawnboys that they already have. Then my problems would be over.

The float is what moves the needle and seat open or closed. If the float doesnt lift up with the fuel level it will never cut off fuel flow, thus leading to flooding or fuel leaking when shut off. The fuel valve can circumvent the leaking problem but wont help the flooding issue.

skane; please give us a break on the Husky commercials. This problem has nothing to do with Lawn-Boy or Toro - it's something about that batch of B&S engines, which have been known as solid performers since the first power mowers. I think anyone with one of the 'Insight' mowers (which Toro is phasing out of Lawn-Boy and painting red) has a solid mower. These new LB models Toro has put in Home Depot are about as cheap as a decent mower can be, even though they incorporate features of the LB 'Insight' and the Toro 'Recycler'. With the usually reliable B&S engine, they should sell very well for Toro. I cannot imagine what is happening with the B&S engines. lb2009; if you haven't already taken it back, review the owner's manual for starting procedures and see if you're not doing something. These new B&S engines are supposed to have an automatic choke, so there's no manual choke or primer. My guess is there's an adjustment problem with that cold-enrichment system.

"684576 is the current part number. About $66.00 each at most parts outlets" Wow! I paid $35 ea. for those a couple of years ago and though that was robbery. You can find used ones of these wheels at mower shops, bone yards that do not have the gear in them, drill the three plastic plugs/rivets, holding the gear on your old wheel and mount it on on the other wheel with screws.

Lawn-Boy carb jet part number
Q
Comments (4)
Thanks for the info and link. If I comprehend correctly there are two ways to address the surging issue. 1) Drill out the existing low and high speed jets. This requires no aditional parts. 2) Replace the low speed jet with one from the RTek carb. 3) Replace the high speed jet with a suzuki jet. Both 2 and 3 require the old jets to be removed and new ones installed. Is this correct? I really do not want to drill out the exisiting jets. I'd rather replace the jets. Is the 81-1030 part nuber a Toro / Lawn-boy part? Is there a replacement part number for the high speed jet? If so, what is it and where can it be obtained from. Thanks again.

Just trying to see how many middle aged Lawn-boy owners are out there, or is LB just a fad on this forum?

Thanks, bestf100 I wish I was closer I'd pick that one up.

sfhill, Thanks for taking Lawnboys to the junkyard. Because of people like this I stay well supplied with great easy projects. The only problem now is the landfill guys want them now more than ever for all the aluminum they possess.

biglumber, I'm like you, its a way of life for some.

And yes I'm in my thirties and collect Lawnboy mowers. You gotta have some sort of hobby, It keeps me out of the bars and such.
