I have a Toro Model 20018 Electric Start Lawn Mower. When I try to start it with the Electric Start, it just makes a ''whirring'' sound, and doesn't seem to engage the motor... (probably doesn't engage the flywheel is the correct term)
The battery is fully charged, and it starts with the Pull Cord ok, but I want to be able to use the Electric Start.
Any suggestions as to what could be causing this?
Thanks,
Jim
You'll need to pull the starter. It sound like your Bendick's is bad. that's the upper gear drive assay. the only other res ion would be, low power to the starter, and not receiving an acquit amount of amp to reach the rpm's it needs. good luck
Testimonial: "Thank you for the advice.... I will check out the Bendix to see if that is the problem. Jim"
I have the Toro 20070 and having the same problem. I removed all the removable parts on the starter; cleaned, inspected and found out that the "Gear" can rise up and down on the "Armature" to engage the fly wheel. I will move the "Gear" to the flywheel, turn the key and the engine will start; however, the "Gear" goes back up over the flywheel than I will get that grinding sound again.
I believed a part is bad, but I do not know which one. I have the part list and diagram.
Can anyone help me with this problem.
Well Harlan or BigD...Was that the solution? How did it turn out for you?
