How do you start a new toro 6.5 hp lawn mower. I borrowed it from my neighbor,but it has 2 levers to pull back. I'm clueless!

Try to start it using jumper cables to boost it from another battery. If it starts, your battery needs replacing.

Push primer bulb at least 3 times. Pull starter rope until it starts. Ensure safety lever is engaged on handle.

yest there is a adjustment either a stop for one handle or a linkage adjustment on the rods

did the belt break or fall off? are the trans release levers pulled out ?the ones you release to push it around

are you holding the lever back when you pull it, the one that stops it when you let go ?

release the park brake and try that,brake has to be engaged to start

unhook your wire from the coil that goes to shut off mechanism, and see if you have spark then. the wire may be grounded out, or your coil might have took a ****

Your cable might need renewing, it could be rusted or frayed where it connects to the gear lever,or the lever itself could be stuck. Try spraying it with W D 40. Check the gears inside the wheels, they might be stuck and need freeing and oiling. Stephen.

The steering levers control all movement on a zero-turn mower. Just slowly pull both handles back evenly and you'll go backwards in a straight line. The farther you pull back the levers the faster it goes backwards.

Hi Patti, If you can not pull the cord more that what you said, try removing the spark plug and see if that makes a difference, if not, leave the spark plug out to prevent accidental starting, raise up the front of the mower and see if you can turn the blade if not...it only gets worse from there. If you can't turn the blade from under the mower, the engine is more that likely seized up, sorry
