I have a Toro mower that runs like crap and a John Deere that runs awesome but cuts horribly.
I tore the carb apart on the Toro and found nothing wrong or dirty. I cleaned it as good as I could and put it together but it still runs bad. (hard to start and will not re-start hot.)
Sharpened the blade on the Deere but it still cuts bad. Never did cut well.
Both have 190cc Briggs engines but the Deere has 2 HP more. So I did what anyone else would have done. I did an engine swap. The only issue I have found is the pulley on the crank for the drive system must be a different size. The wheels catch just a little without pulling the drive bar up. But it works well. Best part is it took almost a half hour.
Anyone need a crappy Deere Js45 deck and a not very well running 190cc Briggs?
