Toro 20339 will not start after oil change, filter, and spark plug change. Runs for 2 seconds and dies.

SOURCE: yard machine 21'' push mower runs 2 to 3 seconds cuts off.

Tip the mower up on it's side with the dipstick tube on the down side and collect it in a suitable container. The gas you can do the same. When I drain old fuel, I mix it with a lot of fresh fuel and a bottle of dry gas then run it in my car.

SOURCE: toro personal pace mower 5 yrs old only runs 10-15 seconds.

Was gasoline left in the tank during off season? Sometimes gas will break down and clog the jets in the carb. The priming bypasses the carb so when you put fuel in by pumping the bulb it runs, but dies becasue no additional fuel is coming through the carb after the primed fuel is burned off. Sounds like you need to clean the jets in the carb and in the future, use Stabil in gasoline to keep it from breaking down.

Hello,

You can try buy a new spark plug and replace it with the old one.
I had the same problem!
You just have to keep pulling until it catches!
Or maybe it's the carburetor that needs to be replaced!
I had the same problem wih my scooter.
I just changed the carburetor and it worked fine :)
