S200 toro manual

I would prime at a minimum 10 times. Even for new 2-stroke equipment albeit with a smaller prime bulb is the norm. If the line and carb were dry it will take a little bit for gas to get to the motor. Prime it some more, pull it over a bunch of times, pull the plug and see if it has gas on it. You can also check for spark at the same time. Internal Combustion Engines need 4 things to run… Fuel, Air, Spark, and then all those things at the right time. Good luck. There is a screw connected to the Carb, you carefully unscrew, spray in carb cleaner and put the screw in exactly the way you took out.

Helps clean the Carb and release a ball in the Carb that gets gummed up. I tried with mine but only runs with choke on. I likely need to rebuild the Carb…new gas and back on the road again. Look up instructions before removing that screw. You have to do it right. Im working on a Toro S like in top pic. This thing had points so I changed it over to electronic ign. Rebuilt carb. New needle and seat and diaphram.

It starts and runs then it start flooding real bad no matter how i adj carb. I have had carb off at least 6x but see nothing wrong. I ran good once. Now it just loads up and starts smoking bad and yes I have the fuel mixed right.

Does anyone on here have any ideas. I fix small engines all the time but this one is being a real thorn in my side. Its a real pain someplace else but cant say it on here. I ran my Toro S today and took about 3 in of snow off of my drive. I noticed it was struggling when pushing some larger piles. It seemed to not have all of its potential power. I say this because right before it ran out of gas it happened twice it would rev up really high and sound great then die. Any suggestions? Many times these old two stroke snow king motors need to be cleaned well and examined closely.

There are several youtube videos on carb settings. Al of Spokane Wa. What I love about my S it throws really heavy wet snow that clogs snow blowers with chutes. The best thing about the is it has vanes, so no clogs. I love clearing the plow in, I pick up the and work my way down through the pile. Summer is a great time to keep an eye out for these gems. Up north here there are an abundance of garage sales and second hand stores.

TORO S snow thrower from was setting in a barn for years, then given to me. The carburetor rebuild kit came with a new needle valve and seat but no indication of how the seat should be oriented. One end of the seat is flat and the other end has a groove in it. Should the grooved end point toward the needle valve or away from it??? EReplacementParts has the whole parts fiche including the carb assembly.

Good luck! Well, yes I can see the carb assembly and even identify the little round seat that appears to be item Dave, a neighbor gave me a free 2-stage blower so I in turn put the S on the curb with a free sign on it. If you figure it out, post back in case others are in this same predicament. Garbage pick or forgotten finds usually will start right up.. One thing I just noticed on my S, the idler pulley behind the black cover on the left as you are standing where you would run the machine can freeze up over time.

Taking off the cover and lubricating the pulley makes a world of difference. I have the same Toro S snow blower I bought at an estate sail 20 years ago. I beat the crap out of that snow blower and it keeps running. I bought it for I put fresh gas in it and mix my gas with no smoke two stroke.

I tried to use the electric start last year and finally nothing happened. Starter is dead, not sure which part of the starter is broke. Luckily, after a couple of primes the pull cord will fire it right over. I recently hit a garage sale and bought a newer looking mud yard machine. The wife wants me to mak a decision. I love that old toro. It looked a little beat up at the time but once I got it home and cleaned it up she started right up. I have a smaller electric blower that I use in the backyard but my new old Toro is my main blower!

What is your spark plug gap on a s and what is number in ounces of oil in mixture? I think they have all just about come to the last round up. My dad used it, and gave it to me when I got married. This little guy just keeps blowing snow! My Toro S has dropped to zero compression. Anyone know where to find replacement rings for this little snow thrower? These are the ones for my old one. Be sure you have your model and serial number when you visit the site.

Every now and then an American company actually makes something that is far better than they planned for. Such are the Toro snow throwers.

These things are remarkable! I love these things. Definitely worth their weight in gold! Luv em! I just got rid of a S , Aprox. I put mine thru everything imaginable and then some. I replaced the scraper only once. The sprocket wore out ,so I replaced it with one from a bicycle,worked perfectly. I live in Dearborn Michigan, we get our fair share of snow ,both dry and fluffy along with the wet heavy crap.

Some of the sidewalks that I cleared were 6 feet wide by feet long, not to mention doing my neighbors on both sides of me. I would prime it 3 or 4 times give it full choke ,it never failed to start on more than Two pulls. Like others have said ,these thing are truly special. Thanks for sharing, John. Special little machines, for sure. An addition to my earlier post. At seasons end ,besides eliminating the fuel from the tank and carb,I fog the engine.

I pull the spark plug ,squirt some motor oil into chamber ,replace the plug and give it a few yanks on the starter rope ,this protects all moving parts with a film. Thanks for sharing your experience. Sometimes older machines last longer than new ones.

I was pretty lucky. I agree with all of you in that the Toro S is a fine example of excellence in simplicity. The long lasting dependability of a power tool that can be neglected yet continue to perform from year to year speaks volumes.

My parents had purchased toro S Electric Start new back in Even the drifts in the breezeway and by the doorways were able to be whittled away by lifting the snow thrower and chopping it down to ground level. My parents had opted for the electric start model, due to my dad having a bad back, they assumed it would be easier to start. Upon my parents moving into a retirement community, my older sister acquired the snow thrower.

I later married and got a house, blah, blah, blah. Worth every penny I might add. I have used this same snow thrower for over 30 years now. I too own an S , which has run since bought new with zero maintenance. I too run it using the new sort of mix that does say Use the same mix for my weed wacker. Thought this might finally be the year, when it did not start, but after on my second trip out to start it, it did start!

Blew 5 inches of heavy wet snow. The forward position works better than the side ones. Hello all! I got my Toro S from a yard sale. I have put fresh gas mixture in it. So I know some steps to take next. Right now, my question is this: The choke switch seems to have 2 different positions to the right of upright position, and then also is able to be turned a little past and rebound back, which I guess might be like revving it up, possibly?

So I want to know if the switch is supposed to have multiple positions, since no one has mentioned it? AND If so, which one should I use for cold start? Some things you can check is if the spark plug is wet after you crank it over for a bit.

Chokes usually have a half and full choke. If the machine is cold full choke until it fires, then half until it runs. Then a racket occurred.

Found a very dried up looking piece of yellow plastic in pieces, looks almost like it had a starburst design on it at one time, and a triangular shaped piece of wire underneath on the ground when I turned it over. Anyone know What. Oh I just looked up some parts and it has to be parts of the starter gear.

As previously stated, I have zero knowledge of snowblowers, so other than buying replacement part I have no idea how to proceed. Is this a job for a novice to attempt? Hi all, great forum. I have a 30 year old S that runs great. The question that I have is that if I store the machine in the basement where it is warm and take it outside, the electric start works fine. Push the button and she turns right over.

If it has sat outside in the cold, whether overnight or after use, when the electric start button is pushed, nothing happens. No buzz, no click, no hum…. But, take the unit back inside to warm up and plug it back in and the electric start works great. I have seen a few posts online with the same problem but no official answer as to what could be wrong.

All I know of these is that volts goes into a rectifier bridge, is converted to DC voltage to turn the starter motor. My starter motor is fine. The start button is fine, and no loose or cracked wires that I can see Any ideas?

Thanks in advance. I have a 30 year old Toro S The problem that I have is that the electric starter will not operate when it is cold. If I store the machine in the basement where it is warm, I take it outside plug the extension cord into it, push the start button and it turns right over and starts right up. If the unit is stored outside in the garage where it is cold, when the starter button is pushed, nothing happens.

No hum, no buzz, no click…. Bring it back inside, let it warm up for a few hours, plug it back in push the start button and it starts fine. Any ideas on what could be wrong? The button is fine, the wiring to the starter motor looks fine. My Toro electric start quit also. Turned out the actual push button switch was no longer making contact inside the switch. I bypassed the switch and just plug it in to start and unplug to stop.

Took the carb off and gas tank, cleaned everything and got it running nicely.

Went to the Toro site for an owners manual but no freebee's only a free service manual that does not indicate starting instructions. From the serial I determined it was a All I need to know is on a cold start how many times the primer bulb needs to be pushed when being choked. If anybody has a manual,kindly advise. Thanks in advance for any advice. Don't have many snow blowers here in Vegas but based on the occasional unit we see from up on the hill, here's my take.

Prime it two or three pushes. Pull out the choke all the way. In the shop I immediatly push the choke all the way off but in actual operational cold conditions you may need to push choke only to half off for a minute or so. I realize two cycle engines vary for the amount of primer pushes required. Just didn't want to flood it on the initial attempt. Backsplash: 4 inch granite like counter top or tile?? DIY Barnwood flooring. In the shop where ambient temps are certainly higher then how a snowblower is actually operated I prime them 3 times.

They may require more under actual operating temps but honestly I doubt it. These things have no air filter as is normal with snowblowers. The main nozzle which the prime squirts out of is in the center of the venturi, the narrow part of the throat, At least half the prime shot rolls down the inlet side of the venturi.

By the third if not 2nd prime fuel is dribbling out the inlet. Thus by the third prime, half of the prime shot is dribbling on the ground.

So after the 2nd prime, it takes two prime shots to keep the fuel of one prime in the throat. So I kinda gotta believe the manufacture doesn't feel more then 3 shots is needed as anymore will dump half on the ground.

It also makes over priming more difficult then an arrangement that would keep all the fuel in the throat. I think what I'll try is two pushes of the primer, if that doesn't work I'll give it a third.

I delivered it to his house so I can't really toy with it, also the weather has not been that cold for the true test since it is being stored outdoors under a tarp. I can only say this, after the carb rebuild I pushed the primer about 4 times and it started on about the 4th pull. After running awhile, I tweaked the carb settings, it then started immediately on the first pull.

The real test will be how easy it starts when it's cold. In my experience it is pretty hard to flood a 2-stroke to the point it wont start. My experience is if you over-prime or flood it, it will attempt to run for a short, smoky time. A few more pulls clears them out, and away they go. I am trying to find out if a regular extension cord can be used with a S Toro Electric Start Snowblower, or if you must purchase a special cord from Toro.

To WLF1: If the female end of the cord fits the prongs on the starter area--yes--it will work! I have a toro s and have had it tuned up and fixed three times at 65 a pop and tired of it. I have cleaned out float and carb already and it ran until i ran gas out of it and now put in gas and wont start again what to do. Toro s starts, cuts off when I turn the Choke back. Also, do you really need to mix gas and oil?
