I have a toro z150 that won't start . I can poor gas into the carb and it will fire but stop.. Like its not getting any gas.. I have ran out ta stuff to look at
Hi Kelly, Seems like the problem is needle stuck in seat, The needle and seat let the gas into the bottom of the carby and as the gas rises in the bottom of the carby the float rises as well pushing the needle up into the seat slowing the gas flow into the bottom of the carby.... As the motor's using the gas in the bottom of the carby the float's lowering and the needle lowers as well allowing more gas into the bottom of the carby, If a needle's stuck inside the seat NO gas(petrol)will be let into the bottom of the carby. Sign of a needle stuck inside the seat is unscrew the bottom of the carby from the top and if NO gas(petrol) in bottom then it's stuck, Pull needle out from seat with fingers and spray up seat with a carby cleaner and wipe needle as well, Replace needle and push needle up and down with float to check it freely slides again.... I hope you know what I mean... CHEERS..

I would check gas tank vent and filter. I couldn't find a leaf blower with your model number to get a diagram. Is that the correct number?
