Toro Suzuki 2-cycle repair or replace
Comments (24)I've had my Toro Model 20684 GTS (Suzuki 2-stroke) Mower new since 1988 and I never even changed the spark plug until yesterday. I am loosing power when it needs it and I can't understand why. It still starts in 2 or 3 pulls, the compression seems ok by the way it feels when I pull the starter rope, no scoring observed thru the intake port, (I have not checked the exhaust port yet), I rebuilt the carb yesterday because the inside diameter of the fuel line was grossly deteriorated, causing particles of rubber to clog the inlet to the carb. Interestingly the manual states no ethanol should be used because damage to the fuel system can result, I wonder if this was the cause for the grossly deteriorated fuel line? (All the gas around here states up to 10% ethanol!). The only issue with the rebuild is the governor setting, I need to figure out how to set that so the idle is back to low rpm as normal, not it seems to be left to cut speed if you know what I mean. My mistake was not to mark the relative position between the governor shaft and the governor arm, (any help anyone?). Well it looses power when it needs it, higher grass, and it is so frustrating, It runs great under no load. I believe the lower crank bearing is going because I can hear a knock of late that is not normal, like the knock you may hear when the bag gets full and the blade is hammering away at a grass clog, but it knocks when it is clear. I wonder if there can be an air leak by the lower bearing that cause its lose of power, but I also believe an air leak will likely cause it to seize up, so I am stumped. Is there anyone out there who can help me out? It's been a great unit but I refuse to believe it has reached the end of its service life!

Comments (10)Annie, you are so close! You can do it! Outside, do you have any more organized runs or races coming up? Maybe the weather is not conducive to it now, though? Lyfia, I am glad to hear you're on the road to recovery! This has to be the worst part, though . . .the waiting! How much longer with the cast? I bet you will be back in no time since you are putting effort into the recovery, which many do not do. Interesting about the team motivation. I am the opposite! I am not competitive and don't like disappointing others, so I prefer to do it alone. Kiki, how did your return go? That is quite a list of changes! A huge congrats to finding and sticking to what works. That is really amazing! Oh, Beth! There isn't a thing wrong with vodka and bologna. My only thing would be not to think of starting/stopping. Think of how you can make permanent changes that you do not want to stop. A real lifestyle change. If that means taking a few weeks off of the gym, then that is OK. Vodka for bed? Fine. But make that be your plan, not a stop. You have to make this so easy and right for you that it works and you are constantly succeeding (or 90%, as we've been told here). If I had to go to the gym to work out, I would fail. I think it would actually be cheaper for me to go in the long run, but I could not do it because it's too complicated. If I had to use the treadmill, I'd fail. I've tried and it's so boring. Things that work for others would not work for me. It's so individual and personal-- different for everyone. If I had to work on what I eat, I'd fail. During these weeks, I briefly tried to improve my diet, and you know what? Totally made me eat worse. I have been OK with how I eat for years, and I do not want to mess with that. What works for me is my set time (morning), easy place (basement), and am making sure I add a lot of challenge and variety to my workouts (love the kettlebell and just got heavier hand weights), it is great. I didn't know that if things got too easy, it actually got BORING. I thought I needed to be perfect to move on, but no. Thanks, everyone, for commenting. It is really more fun knowing others are in this!...See MoreNew Trane XR17 Heat Pump short cycles
Comments (2)" installed less than three months ago through a very reputable Trane factory authorized contractor" "A few weeks ago the pressure transducer is replaced. However a similar problem still exist " It seems whenever HVAC contractors start replacing sensors on new equipment there is a high probability it is not the sensor that is the problem. The sensors may be tripping because there is an installation problem. If this guy is a Trane factory authorized dealer then he should be bringing technical experts from the distributor or the Trane factory to trouble shoot the problem. I could be off base here, but your contractor may not want to let a Trane representative see his installation. This may be the reason why it is taking so long get a response from Trane. My suggestion would be to tell your Trane dealer you want you new equipment fixed immediately and if he doesn't know how to do it he needs to bring in a Trane expert. Let us know how this plays out. I would be interested to know how this was resolved....See MoreIs my AC short cycling?
Comments (9)The t-stat is in the master bedroom on the wall opposite where the ceiling supply vent is in the room (~8 feet apart) and directly beneath a small return vent. Additionally, it's next to the bedroom door going into the hallway where the main return vent is located. I'm not sure what the CFM is on the air handler but when the unit turns on there is a very noticeable "breeze" that can be felt around most vents and it's particularly noticeable in around the t-stat. We set the temp at 68F and leave it alone and there's not humidity control. The t-stat in the old system (where I didn't notice frequent cycling with this t-stat) was located in a hallway under a large return vent and with no supply vent anywhere near it - supply vents were in bedrooms only. The air felt the least conditioned here I guess because of the large return vent above the area. I feel like the nighttime cycling has to do with the t-stat's 1F tolerance combined with it's close proximity to a supply vent. In other words, outside air temp is 70F meaning not much cooling is needed but with the 1F temp tolerance it's enough to kick the system on only to produce a cold draft and very quickly drops the temp to 68F and kicks it off. It kicks on at again at 69F and off at 68F. That's why I was wondering if a t-stat that would allow me to adjust that to say 3F would be better? If set the t-stat at 68F it would take additional time for the temp to rise to 71F before the system turned on again....See Moreeileenlaunonen
