Repaired a jiffy ice auger two stroke for a neighbor and for the heck of it I wound the cord in the opposite direction and it started and ran fine.
Use an air chisel, the blade adapter will come right off.the worst part is removing the blade adaptor.
Nice, I'm actually working on one of these today for a neighbor. I'll try to remember to grab pics of it when I get home, it's a 1987 and basically in brand new condition. It was inherited from a family member and probably only has 1-2 hours of use on it. The carb diaphragm is hard as a rock from sitting.Repaired a jiffy ice auger two stroke for a neighbor and for the heck of it I wound the cord in the opposite direction and it started and ran fine.
Much prefer the OMC built lawn boys over the newer toro built garbage.All of my push mowers are magnesium deck Lawn-Boy mowers. Nothing compares in thick grass and on steep slopes. I have 5 of them now . One of them was bought just to look at. I was produced with all the goodies that were available and the paint is still like new.
Thought you might like this video. It's my 1988 Yamaha TDR 250 two stroke. I've owned the bike 18 years now and love the thing. Here's a smokey cold start.I like 2 stroke anything. I really miss the 2 stroke motorcycles.
Years ago perhaps around 1990 I had a Toro 2 stroke with the GTS engine (Suzuki I think). It was light weight, and powerful. I wound up selling it to get a Toro 4 stroke Recycler. I wanted to mulch. It was also a great machine but felt like a tank after owning the 2 Stroke for years.I never seen or knew that two strokes were on lawnmowers. Anyone have any information or used one etc. The history and or story behind something like this? This is a local ad for sale - they are looking for 1000 bucks for this lawnmower. I'll give them it does look clean and brand new, is this two-stroke lawnmower really worth $1000? No I am not interested in buying it I'm just curious on something like this I would like to learn a little more about it.

I've seen a few youtube videos of people who have swapped 2-stroke Suzuki engines from earlier models onto newer Toro Super Recyclers with personal pace. Seems like a great combo of a lightweight, torquey mower with easy to use self-propel system and good mulching ability.Years ago perhaps around 1990 I had a Toro 2 stroke with the GTS engine (Suzuki I think).

I mow every week with my now 47 year old Lawn-Boy 5024 Bricktop. Still fires up on the first or second pull.Toro makes an excellent lawn mower. But I would not want one with a 2 cycle engine unless it for "for display only".
2 stroke snowmobiles run backwards for a reverse ''gear'' function. Select reverse and engine stalls and PCM restarts running backwards.Repaired a jiffy ice auger two stroke for a neighbor and for the heck of it I wound the cord in the opposite direction and it started and ran fine.
Hi, this is exactly where the shop I'm having this worked on have run into a huge problem with this. They absolutely cannot get that blade adapter off. Are these things prone to becoming super-seized or something? It's been hit with multiple different penetrants, including Ferrosol (which I applied liberally). It's been heated with a torch at least twice, and the had some kind of pulley-pulling mechanism attached to it to try to remove it. It will not come off after days of trying. Are they missing something they need to specifically be doing to remove this? Next up, I ordered some CRC Freeze off and Knock ér loose to try. If all it is is seized from rust, after that I'm going to bring them a block of dry ice, have them apply that to the crankshaft, and then hit the adapter itself with a torch, maybe the extreme temp differences on each end with shrink/expand the metal enough to break this thing loose. It's just unreal. Any help would be appreciated.yes the swap can be made . nothing has changed in this regaurd on these. i have done dozens of these swaps on these. the worst part is removing the blade adaptor.
I reiterate, use an air chisel, the blade adapter will come right off. I have removed hundreds of them this way.Hi, this is exactly where the shop I'm having this worked on have run into a huge problem with this. They absolutely cannot get that blade adapter off.
