I just replaced Toro 20334 drive cable. When I started it, it took off and almost pulled me down, way too fast. What could be wrong?

I would say that the cable has been overtightened and causing the engine to race when it should be idling. Recheck the fitting and the tension of the cable. At idle, it should be barely moving the carby throttle.

hi there

have you checked and removed any built up grass/ mudd from the blade/ bell housing ?
does the blade turn freely after this ?

remove the pull start cover assy does the engine rotate freely ?

make sure the blade brake is not stuck on ( if these units use them )

if no check your oil level ?

if you have no oil reading on the dip stick you could quite possibly have siezed or partially siezed your engine

make sure you have not hydraulicd oil into the combustion chamber ( this raises compression )
to the point where it has too much compression and oil will not compress and causes a loc near tdc

take look and let me know

SOURCE: what is wrong with the toro push mower pull cord if it will not pull out?

I would say check the bolts that hold down the pull cord they are the same thread as the cover bolts but the cover bolts are a tad longer and if used on the pull cord housing they stick down to far and hit the fan blades on the magneto and it will not rotate

actually doesn't sound like a fuel supply issue. pull your spark plugs and check the gap and for any debris. A hot engine typically will fail when something crosses the spark gap. Make certain the gap is proper, and that the plug(s) are clean. Don't trust the manufacturer's preset gap since this can be altered in shipping. If your plugs are exceptionally blackened, you may have a valve or ring issue allowing excess oil to foul your plugs. Be aware that 2stroke engines use an oil mix and that too rich(over oiled mix) can cause as many issues as too lean a mix (burn out of ports and rings). Never use 2 cycle fuel that has sat around over a season as it can really screw up your equipment. Always use fresh mix.

Toro Personal Pace 20334 22-inch Briggs & Stratton Gas Self-Propelled Lawn Mower. The electric start button does not release?

Question edited for a little more clarity.
Question moved from Laundry Dryers.

There is either a fault with the push start switch, the starter relay or starter solenoid. Take it in for service, or you local dealer will probably collect and return it.

Sounds like the engine stop cable has stretched or broken and is not releasing the engine brake. This cable also disengages the kill switch to the ignition module. Follow the cable from the upper handle down to the side of the engine and watch how far it will move the brake lever. If it is less than 3/4 of an inch, the cable will need to be replaced.
Good luck!

Replace the cable traction (part #105-1844)

I just replaced mine and it was a little difficult and took me roughly an hour to do. First, download the walk behind power mover drive systems at https://homeownersolutions.toro.com/portal/server.pt?space=CommunityPage&cached=true&parentname=CommunityPage&parentid=1&in_hi_userid=30166&control=SetCommunity&CommunityID=225&PageID=30031#manualsResultPage

While they do not specifically address replacing the cable, you can find out how they do it when replacing the drive belt. As I said, it took me about an hour and I just about had to remove the transmission and rear drive assembly in order to unhook the original cable. Good luck!
