You "might" be able to go to a Toro dealer and get a new impeller, or try to find a used one on E-bay or similar. Sometimes the whine is caused by something caught and obstructing the impeller.

Replace the coil.

most likely the reset button is defective, replace it.

There is a safety switch to make sure you can not power the unit while it is apart. Sometimes this switch will break when you open the unit. Bottom line most manufactures if electric tools and appliances do not want tou screwing with their stuff.

TRY A COMPANY CALLED GIANT VAC

take one of the lines to a hardware store and see if they have the proper size. You should be able to change them easily. Just remember to clamp the ends to prevent gas from leaking out.

the diode is bad on the start switch check with a meter for amps

try some starting fluid and change the gas

if shop just repaired it, go back. Right belt? Tensioned enough?

It sounds like you my need to rebuild and clean the carburator. Or you have an air leak between the carb and the cylinder.

Hello, if you go to searspartsdirect.com type in your model number you will be able to find a diagram that will show you where and how the spring attaches

Recommend completely draining the fuel system. Tank, lines, and carb. Make sure everything is clean and dry. Clean or replace fuel filter. Always try to store it with a full tank of fuel. It is common to get condensation when the weather goes from warm to cold and back.

It sounds like the sping that goes from the throttle lever to the govonor arm is either streched or broken.

the problem could be the snow is to heavy for the motor to keep up, if thats the case you may need to upgrade to a more powerful model or try not to overload it. take it a little slower so the motor can keep up. but try tightening the belt. with your pointer finger push down on the belt it should have about a half inch give, if it moves more than that its too loose and probably slipping under load

The answer is wrong. This model and other Toro blowers with the plug built into the body (as opposed to the new design with plug on cord) has this problem when the plug does not completely mate with the cord. This happened to mine too. Unfortunately Toro does not provide a replacement part. HOwever, perhaps the new designed cord will fit as a replacement, but I am unsure of this. When my plug melts completely I will try that.

Your gas to oil ratio is 32 to 1. Should cut down on smoke. replace sparkplug at same time.

Please rate this response and Good luck

Remove the two screws holding the control panel to the machine. The spark plug is behind the panel.

If it sat for some time without running aslittle as 30 day the fuel is probly stale and needs to be drained and the carb cleaned and possibly a new spark plug

turn the choke off. then adjust the throttle cables.
