[QUOTE="Maddog, post: 385488, member: 5355"] I am having issues with starting of my Toro, self-propelled, walk behind mower. It is probably around 10 years old. I change the oil, air filter and spark plug after every mowing season. For years it always took (2) pulls to start it when cold. When warm it took (1) pull. This year it has started to have some issues. I noted after mowing for awhile and shutting it off a slight puff of smoke would come from the exhaust. Perhaps it did that last year too. Lately it has started to have some issues starting when cold. It will take at least (6) pulls to start. It still starts on the first pull when warm. The only thing I started doing differently this year was going to a higher octane gas with that sea foam additive per recommendations of others. What am I missing or should I do differently to help it start easier? There is no primer/choke on it. Maybe the place I buy the higher octane gas has old gas in its tanks? I buy all my gas from the same station. But have yet to pull up and see the previous person buying the high octane gas. Thinking maybe this is it. ?? [/QUOTE]
