Why won't my Toro 70185 start?
- R
  ryanfrankAug 12, 2025
  Several factors can prevent your Toro Riding mower from starting. Ensure you're seated, the fuel tank isn't empty (fill it with gasoline if it is), and the air cleaner isn't dirty (clean or replace the element). Check that the spark plug wire is connected, the spark plug isn't damaged (install a new, correctly-gapped one if needed), and the choke is closing (adjust the throttle cable). Also, verify that the fuel filter is clean (replace if dirty), the carburetor idle speed and mixture are correctly adjusted, and the engine isn't flooded (remove and dry the spark plug if it is). Finally, ensure the battery is charged.

Why isn't the grass collector filling on my Toro 70185?
- R
  Richard GreeneAug 16, 2025
  If the grass collector on your Toro Riding mower isn't filling, several factors could be at play. The cutting height might be too low, so try raising it. The grass could be too heavy or damp; wait until it dries out. A worn cutting blade could also be the culprit, so sharpen or replace it. If the grass is too high, raise the cutting height. Finally, check the discharge area for blockages and remove any obstructions.

What to do if my Toro 70185 Riding mower starter does not crank?
- R
  Raymond SimmonsAug 23, 2025
  If the starter on your Toro Riding mower isn't cranking, make sure the blade control (PTO) is disengaged and the parking brake is set. Check the battery; if it's dead, charge it. Inspect the electrical connections for corrosion or looseness, ensuring they have good contact. Also, verify that a fuse hasn't blown and replace it if necessary. If these steps don't resolve the issue, it may be due to a damaged relay or switch, requiring assistance from an Authorized Service Dealer.

Why does my Toro Riding mower engine lose power?
- M
  Madison RobinsonAug 28, 2025
  If your Toro Riding mower engine is losing power, it could be due to several reasons. First, check if the engine load is excessive; if so, shift to a lower gear. Ensure the air cleaner element is clean. Verify the oil level in the crankcase and add oil if it's low. Clear any obstructions from the cooling fins and air passages. Replace a pitted, fouled, or incorrectly gapped spark plug with a new one. Replace a dirty fuel filter. If the issue persists, there may be dirt, water, or stale fuel in the fuel system, and you should contact an Authorized Service Dealer.
