Comments (8)No brainer. Fix it. You'll have a great mower. If you're as quick a study as you say you are, it won't be difficult to replace the carb bulb. In addition, you should take an hour to disassemble a clean the carburetor to make sure nothing's gummed up in there; there are plenty of YouTube videos showing how to do this and you'll be grateful to have been through the process once if you ever need to do a cleaning down the road. Just be sure to wear safety goggles when spraying with carb cleaner if you use that (as opposed to the garden hose nozzle, which I often use after I've taken off all the small parts). I would also remove the fuel tank, rinse it out thoroughly with a garden hose, and drain it well. I'd also replace the fuel hose, which may be rotten on the inside. Going forward, use StaBil (available at Home Depot or auto parts stores) to make sure your gas stays in good shape....See MoreMowing on slope with Toro 20055

You always want the carb/spark plug on the high side....See MoreToro Super 800 Adjustment Screw
