Did you clean the float bowl, it collects dirt and stops fuel to the needle valve

Came up totally empty on the Internet searching for a video or even a description of how to replace this cable - so had to go blind into it. The top end of the cable installation is pretty easy to figure out. The trick, if you wanna call it that, is that to get into the lower end of the cable installation (under the engine) you have to have the mower on its side and remove the blade and the black plastic housing just above it (more than I had bargained for when I ordered the replacement cable, which comes with no directions at all). Two 1/2" nuts and you have the blade off; two hex-head 3/8" screws and you can just snap off the plastic housing. (Hint: The square, black plastic block holding the metal sleeve on the cable? Don't loosen it all the way cuz it's a bear putting back on. It's just a press-fit to hold the sleeve, so loosen it just enough to push the sleeve out of the block and then using a screwdriver pry the slot open enough for the cable itself to slide out.) Sounds pretty simple, huh? Unless, of course, you're going into it blind :)

Yes but Test voltage regulator first.Then check wiring connections.Dirt in plugin connections etc.

Typically a primer is only used on 2 cycle engines not on lawnmower engines, so it would not have a primer bulb.

There is no easy way to check transaxle fluid level for this model. See service manual below. First check both bypass levers are in proper position. See page 17 of operators guide. https://www.toro.com/getpub/28630 If bypass levers are correct, then see purge procedure page 4-8 in the service manual. https://w-8ww.toro.com/getpub/28017 Note; left turn failure during forward travel is a power issue with the right transaxle. If there is marked fluid leaking from suspected transaxle, it will need addressed (removed, repaired, reinstalled).

it may have thrown the drive belt causing it to lock up.

We're having problem an issue keeping our mower running it is a Toro ss5000 TimeCutter.. it would start run for a few seconds and then shut off

I would suspect the right wheel motor is barely working (or not at all) and forward motion is from the left only so any attempt to turn left is problematic since the right wheel motor has little or no power. If you can get all wheels off the ground you can test and compare wheel motors.

You don't. Just wrap a bungee cord around the handle to keep engine running if you take your hands off the bar.
