Did you gap the plug?

Suggest you remove carburetor bowl and make sure it is clean.

Which engine?

Carburetor needs cleaning? Throttle linkages? Spark plug okay? Ignition timing okay? https://www.google.com/search?q=oro+snow+blower+model+38185+runs+but+not+fast+enough ..

That's an older Tecumseh engine. The magneto and points are underneath the flywheel.

See Taryl Dactyl instruction video on how to remove a flywheel without a puller and 100s of small engine repair videos.

Youll need specs for point gap and timing instructions. See free manuals at

This sounds like classic vapor lock. Heat from the engine is vaporizing the fuel in the carburetor before it gets into the cylinder. Next time it happens, try icing down the carburetor and fuel lines and see if it starts up.

Maybe a warped deck

maybe its worn and stretched...replace it

The threads may have been stripped.

What you describe as slow may be starter stall. Starter stall occurs when decompression fails which is typically due to the valve lash out of spec. The Kohler Courage is an OHV engine that requires periodic valve lash adjustment.

Try removing the spark plug and then engage the starter. If it still cranks slowly then the problem.is not related to decompression.

Check with a Toro dealer or directly by contacting Toro.

Raise and secure front of mower off the ground.
Remove large wheel cover (if in place).
Remove small dust cap.
Remove cotter pin.
Remove castle nut.
Remove flat washer.

The wheel should now be loose and the outer roller bearing can be removed. Next slip the wheel off the spindle. Take care not to loose any parts from backside of the wheel.

Likely the starter solenoid or the brake actuator module.

You'll need to measure the voltage at the starter solenoid coil. You should read battery voltage across the solenoid coil when the ignition switch is in the start position.If you don't read battery voltage, there are multiple causes for this fault.


For engine START, this unit requires the following;

PTO switch OFF
Steering arms OUT (brakes fully applied)
Operator seat occupied.

When steering arms move OUT the brake actuator module applies brakes and allows the power to the starter solenoid coil when the ignition key is rotated to the START position given the 3 conditions above are met.

The brake actuator must rotate and apply the brakes or the unit will not start. Any obstruction of the brake linkage that prevents full brakes or if the actuator is out of adjustment will prevent starting.
