THE ULTIMATE SECRET...install a shut-off valve into the 1/4" fuel line, either before or after the fuel filter. OPERATION: When shutting down the mower after each use, do not turn off the ignition key. Leave the key on. Instead, to shut the mower off, turn off the shut-off valve on the fuel line. The engine will run until ALL of the gas has been used up within the carburator - and the engine will die. Now turn off the ignition key. EXPLANATION: Relying on the anti backfire/fuel silenoid on the carburator is the big problem. Gunked up gas always causes the solenoid to stick in the open or closed position. Gas that is left within the carburator will clog it up in just a few days. I have an old 1952 8n Ford Tractor. It originally came a gas shut-off valve. This is the old and superior design that works without causing problems. I struggled for years with these stupid problems. Each year, in October, I turn off my Craftsman & Cub Cadet mowers using this shut-off valve on the fuel line. Then, in March of the next year -- I turn-on the Shut-off valve -- and all the mowers start right up on the same gas used previously in the tank. The old farm tractors hold the secret. Today's engineers have bad ideas that cause stupid problems. Install fuel shut-off valves on every small engine that you have. They only cost a few dollars.

I'm really liking it, and not because I spent a nice chunk of change on it.

[@henrysmifth536]

Power wheels for adults 💪🏽 👏 👌 Still have the old girl from the 90's runs like a broken top but it still gets the job done

[@AntonioClaudioMichael]

If it had damage before you got it you should complain to company to have it fixed or atleast rectify the situation 🤷 @Tool In Hand

[@toolinhand]

I should have.

[@CRich715]

Newer 2022 to present version models are actually downgraded glad I got my T240 in 2021

[@toolinhand]

I saw the t2400, which seems like the same.

[@henrysmifth536]

Use 93 octane only you can thank me later

[@aeondragon4197]

These are terrible MTD products. MTD is a generic manufacturer of many lawn tractors out there such as troy built husquavarna craftsman an many of generic models out there. They are made with substandard parts and will have many small failures along the way. My T240 is at9.4 hours and is already hard starting. Warranty repair is a joke.

[@toolinhand]

It sounds like you have ethanol in your gas. I'd run non ethanol from another gas station and see if it clears up

[@aeondragon4197]

@@toolinhand Thanks for trying to help! It turns out I have a stretched throttle cable. I remove the hood manually operate the butterfly linkage and it starts right up now that am manually choking it.

[@toolinhand]

@@aeondragon4197 I'm glad you figured it out. Maybe you can get that cable warrantied.
