How do you replace the belt

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 either the gears on the wheels or ends of the trans shaft are bad, or the internals of the trans are bad. Are the parts actually new-new, or used and new to the machine, you didn't specify. What happens when you manually spin the pulley on the top of the trans in either direction?

Yes, the drive belt only connects the motor to the gearbox that drives the mower. The mower should still start.

You should post this question in the lawnmower section so the proper expert will see it..

More than likely, you have broken the belt that drives the Self-propelled action. Simply replace with a new belt and you'll be back in business.

Good Luck!

Most likely you'll have to remove the bowl nut, under the carb's bowl. You'll most likely find varnish in the jet, or maybe water. These are some typical jets, Tecumseh. Briggs, similar (baymee Lehigh Valley PA, 2009).

It sounds as if your engine may be getting too hot. I suggest that you check under the covers and make sure that all the debris is cleaned out. These are air cooled engines and as such need to be kept relatively clear of debris, especially anywhere there are cooling fins.

Sounds liek you have installed the belt incorrectly or the tensioner if it has one is too tight.

If it doesnt start manually,you have another issue to deal with. Whether it has electric start or not you should be able to manually pull start it. You can also get the model and serial number off the engine and contact your nearest toro dealer to have charger and key ordered. As far as a push button,it can be done,just a matter of finding someone to install one for you.
