I BOUGHT A BRAND NEW TORO LAWNMOWER, MODDEL 20330,

I BOUGHT A NEW TORO LAWNMOWER, MODEL 20330, GUARANTEED TO START BUT MINE DOES NOT START. IS THERE A PRIMER BUTTON UNDERNEATH SOMEWHERE???? A FRIEND OF MINE WAS ABLE TO FIND SOME KIND OF BUTTON UNDERNEATH AND ONCE IT WAS PRESSED, IT STARTED RIGHT UP, BUT THIS IS A NEW SPRING (I BOUGHT IT LAST SEPT.) AND I NEED TO MOW MY LAWN. ANY SUGGESTIONS???? I CAN'T FIND THE BUTTON OR WHERE EVER IT WAS UNDERNEATH TO PRESS AND I'VE SPEND A LOT OF TIME LOOKING. I'VE TRIED NUMEROUS TIMES TO START IT, BUT IT WON'T. I NEED HELP PLEASE? THANKS!!

    Hey....I asked several people at work and they all told me that if there was one, it would be on the side of the gas tank, underneath, so I felt all around there and found one small like rubber piece and I've been squeezing the heck out of it, and it starts right up. Now, your probably right, there isn't any primer bulb, but for right now, it is starting each and every time, after each pull and that's all I care about. But, if it should ever "die", I won't get another one like it. Otherwise, it is working fine! Strange huh? You bet!

Don't waste time looking for the primer bulb. probably wont work anyway if its over 6 months old and repairs probably wont do any good either. bad design for a primer system.

Toro GTS 20332 lawnmower won't start. It's guaranteed to start. Bought it last November. Just put new gas in it, checked the oil, went to pull it and it didn't even sound like it was trying to start..

Hi, well, if it hasn't been started since November? then maybe, the spark plug has fouled, change, DO NOT clean and replace unless you have NO alternative. Also check, the spark plug lead. Replace if possible with a new one. Check all connections, to magneto/alternator, make sure you have voltage? Check the ignition circuit, the electronic ignition module too. Then Check to see if you indeed have a spark, hold the plug, against the case of the motor, and see if you can discern a spark, it should be big, and nice and blue.purple.
Also ensure gas is getting to the carburettor, take the fuel line Off at the carb, and see if gas is flowing?
I would imagine though you have sufficient gas.
If it uses a battery, then make sure this is OK too.

My toro lawnmower (brand new) it doesn't start.\r\...

The drive shaft might just need to be oiled. Turn the mower over and locate the drive shaft, where it goes from the mower's blade up into the body of the mower. Lubricate the area of the shaft that disappears into the body with WD-40 or another lubricant, then turn the blade by hand (be careful!) and squirt some more oil.

Eventually the blade should become easier to turn, and then your pull cord should extend without getting stuck. Good luck!
