Hi,

My son doesn't live in the area, so I can't go down there and offer any
advice first hand.
Also, he's pretty non-mechanical.

Anyway, he has a Toro walk behind lawnmower purchased last year, so it's
pretty new. It's the kind you squeeze the handle, and it moves.
Pretty typical kind; bought at HD.

Anyway, it always starts just fine.
But after a 1/2 hour or so, just about every time, it shuts off.
Won't re-start (while hot).
Plenty of gas and oil.

But when trying again when cold after a few days, it starts just fine.

Any ideas what might be wrong ?

Any hints on getting it to re-start while very warm ?

i don't think there is any Carb lever on these models like for full-choke,
half-choke, etc. Are there ?

Thanks,
Bob

Tell him to take the gas cap off, place his lips tightly inside the hole and
blow as hard as he can.

It seems too new for spark plug problems but it is possible the plug is
overheating also.

Aren't they "guaranteed" to start by the 2nd pull ? Ask a Toro dealer.
