carb had green slime in it so i guess it had sat for many years.Lots of good buys out there , you just have to fix what the previous owner screwed up in most cases .

did good .Rebuild kit from local OPE shop for my 'Silver series'.
Piston kit, main bearings, seals and gaskets for $51.25
Did I do OK?
Now to make the time to overhaul him.[emoji849]
uses the same coil as the duraforce the V engine is based on the F engine but has a bigger bore and isn't as well balanced i know the V series has a lot more compression compared the the F engines has a lot more power than the earlier lawn boys the only thing lacking is the exhaust system they are louder than any other series.Good video Jake , I've never worked on the V series is there anything in common with the D or F ?
I have to rebuild the M series I have , it's in good shape but just abused I think by the original owner . I know they have that carb issue but I'll deal with that when I get to it .
I gave away an M-series last spring. It needed that large cable that controls the safety brake and such. It was a monster in size compared to what I am used to. The gas tank leaked too, which I found out is a common problem with these. I didn't realize that it had a Suzuki motor, although it would make sense being it was made when Toro first took them over and they used a Suzuki on some models.I have been running a Lawnboy two cycle mower since I started cutting grass at age 11.
My current LB is a Commercial Duraforce 22261. I am on the lookout for a M-series Commercial with the oil injection and the Suzuki motor.
you need my 1980 7268 was 3.5 hp F engine now it has cylinder and carb off a mid 90's 5hp F engine it can really kick some ass.I gave away an M-series last spring.

send me a model of mower so i can find you a solution.My '77 has the plastic carb with no low speed adjustment. While mowing a bank downhill it will almost flood itself out. The "altitude adjustment" screw doesn't seem to make much difference either. It has a new float with the needle valve on it along with the $8 helper spring for the float.
How can I get this thing to lean out a little bit? There doesn't seem to be a way to change the float level either.
Thanks!
