best lawn mower for 2013 image

July 22, 2013.
I have the following Toro lawn mower. The lawn mower engine showed a continuous decline in running time. Five weeks ago, the lawn mower continued to run in perfect order. As time passed by, the engine would not run as long. The engine would run, but die after a certain time. The engine running time continued to decrease as time passed by. Now, the engine will not start.
Toro 6.5 horsepower GTS lawn mower
Toro model number 20017
Toro serial number 240121813
Tecumseh Power Company
engine model number: LV195EA
spec: 362003B
engine family: 4TPXS.1951BC
Round one: We replaced the spark plug and air filter. The engine would run for one or two seconds.
Round two: We removed and cleaned the small metal bowl attached to the carburetor with carburetor cleaner. We removed and cleaned the main jet by using a small wire. We filled the fuel tank with one-week old 87 octane unleaded fuel. The engine would run for one or two seconds.
We drained the fuel tank and filled the tank with fresh 93 octane unleaded fuel. The engine continue to run! Hurray! We pulled the starter cord an hour later and the engine continue to run! Hurray! Two successful tests made me very happy.
When I transported the lawn mower from my friend's home to my home, I pulled the starter cord. The engine failed to start! The engine would not even run for one or two seconds.
I wanted to try starting the engine the next day.
Round three: The next day, I pulled the starter cord and the engine would not start. The engine would not even run for one or two seconds.
We cleaned the fuel tank with carburetor cleaner and the tiny mesh screen that serves as the fuel filter. We rinsed the fuel tank with fresh 93 octane unleaded fuel twice and refilled the tank with fresh 93 octane unleaded fuel.
We applied carburetor cleaner through the fuel line between the fuel tank and carburetor. We applied carburetor cleaner to the float in the small metal bowl. We did not fully disassemble the carburetor.
I pulled the starter cord and the engine would not start. The engine would not even run for one or two seconds.
Does anyone have any suggestions?
Thank you again for your help and guidance.

I used to have the same problem. Every other season or so. I would remove the carburetor and spray electrical contact cleaner through all of the ports. The ports are fixed in this machine I believe, and there are no needle valves/adjustment screws. I would also stick a fine copper wire through these ports. It took about an hour start to finish including re-installing the carburetor . Ran like a raped ape after that.

My dad and I have been mowing some lawns commercially on the side for the past 7 or 8 years. I have one job that is about 6" to 8" tall when we mow it and it is not like city grass, it's like grass that grows in the country. It is about 5 or 6 acres of that with little trees that try to grow in the grass. That yard takes about 5 or 6 hours of mowing each time. The rest of my yards are in town and a lot smaller. For the jobs I have right now I have been using a 2007 Cub Cadet Tractor mower, 24 horsepower, 50" cut that I bought this year and I works we'll but I bought it used and it already has some problems. I recently narrowed down my selection to a mower with 24+ hp and a 42" + cut zero turn mower under $3,500. It has to be durable and be able to do this job and not fall apart. I was looking at the 2013 Hustler Raptor (23 hp Kawasaki engine, 54" cut with a really strong deck and build for $2,899) and a Bad Boy MZ Magnum (27 hp Briggs and Stratton motor and a 54" deck built also really strong for $3,499) I would much rather have more hp but I heard someone say that the Kawasaki motor runs so much better, but is it as powerful as the 27 hp Briggs and Stratton motor? Any suggestions on other ztr mowers and and answer to this question of which one would be better for my job(s) would be greatly appreciated. Thanks

That cub is a hard mower to beat. I think I would look and see how much to repair it first.
