When mine did that I had to replace the carb which was suckin air. New carb good seal...good to go. Actually I bought the wrong one the first time and still have it.

The linkage may be in the right holes,but its the springs that would control the surge, it sounds to me like you put in the springs wrong,forgot to hook them up or lost one.

Here is my video showing how I installed and I explain how to tighten each side a little bit until they are snug. Maybe one side is tighter and its not allowing the other side to sit flush. All I get for noise on mine is a slight whistle while going down the road. I want to find some type of spoiler that can go on the front to get rid of the whistle when I am not hauling anything. You could also take them down one at a time and see which one is making the noise. Good luck and feel free to ask any more questions. http://youtu.be/QZcza0KBh9M

I have a 2001 SeaDoo XP which is the same 951 engine as yours, but carbureted. I rebuilt the top end on it and had great compression (150psi), so i put this 15/20 solas prop on it after reading how its the be best prop for the 951 engine. (look for bens secret 951 engine mods on Greenhulk) Now i also put a solas intake grate on, which helps the hookup in chop, but Man o man what a difference this prop made for me. Great holeshot, but HUGE difference in mid range powerband. I am still grinning ear to ear. I still top out at 62mph, but some of my top end is scrubbed by the intake. Again though. .. I had a solid top end rebuild with 150psi compression, and my engine was turning 6850-6950 rpms. 15/20 is actually a little over-propped without other mods, but my engine is stock. Just Molly coated positions and mikuni rebuild kits on the carbs. If your engine isn't turning 6800 rpm+ and your compression isn't great, you might back off and get 13/19. I have a 13/19 solas on my ZXi 1100 and love it. Same midrange powerband and holeshot over stock. Just make sure you get the right model for your ski...

Hi Michael: That is not normal. I'd see about getting a replacement. Mine ignites very quickly and well.

No one mentioned it but I suspect the THD (total harmonic distortion) is higher on the Generac than the Westinghouse. I called Generac about this and their response was obviously scripted because all they will tell you is that it is above 5% THD on the GP series and below 5% on the XP line (they were unable to release any R&D; info at all) whereas Westinghouse was very forthcoming with the info and actually verified the 9% THD as a true R&D; measurement.

mine lasted for more than two hours, pretty good for a small unit, but the Ryobi 18 volt lasts much longer. The Big downside to this Toro is where the motor connects to the power supply internally. It gets too much vibration and breaks the connecting wire. I repaired mine because it was just after the warranty time. It broke the wire connection again during the first use so I quit using it and bought the Ryobi, what an improvmant, for any amount of additional money, all the Ryobi One+18 volt tools use the same battery. If this is helpful to you please check the appropriate box, Thanks.

This is the same as the original wheel that comes on the Toro when you bought it. The original wheel lasted about 10 yrs and then the plastic cracked. I was mowing on a side hill so that puts more pressure on wheel. I bought 2 new wheels and put them both on and saved the one good wheel as a back up. If the original wheel had bearings, this one does as well. DON'T BUY THE HOME DEPOT REPLACEMENT!!! They are 11 inches instead of the 12 inch so they will not sit level and they are cheap, not like the original. Buy 2 of the new ones to bag free shipping from amazon so you will have a brand new pair for around $36 and keep the other wheel if it did not break for a backup. Reviews are important.

I've had an XT11 for about 1.5+, daily use, lots of mode switching. The mode switch button has broken/worn out. I emailed Klarus Customer Service and asked if they sold a tail cap assembly (described my issue). They offered me the choice of mailing me a new switch (to install myself) or mailing in the tail cap to have them install a new switch. No cost (except for postage if I was mailing it in). I got my email answered very quickly (less than 12 hrs).

Jesse, dont know what actual speed it may achieve, with no modifications, appears you must drill main jet carb out to somewhere around .039 to. 043 to eliminate hesitation , if you attempt to race it. Then u must remove governor.! This is stuff that i have heard and read on social networks. No experience myself

I've owned the Toro 1800 older model (38025) for around ten years. Live in the snow belt of Northern Michigan (we had nine inches today) and have a driveway with afton stone. My faithful Toro has done a great job of clearing the snow from my drive all these years, but the other day had one stone too many and I cracked the blades. I can get replacement blades and have it fixed (and probably will) but am also seriously looking at the newer model 38371. I looked at the Worx, which has steel blades, but Toro has been so trouble free over all these years, that I'll stick with the brand. BTW, it easily handles 12 inches of dry snow and can even carve through drifts with a bit of patience on the operator's part. EDIT: As it turned out, it would cost me $150 to have my old Toro fixed. No brainer: ordered the 38371 and happy dance, it will be here this Saturday.

this may help. hoes maybe to short.just a guess. ck the volts to much power will make the motor run faster. if any of THESE will not work send it back. thanks

I didn't order anything but the generator. I have watch this one in 60 MPH winds. It loves it. I regulate my unit to start slowing down in around 40 MPH winds and add real heavy load at 50 MPH ( NOT SHORTED leads) 3000 watts of light bulbs. I used a standard American TV tower from Amerit , Ohio. I built a Hazer that travels up and down the out side of tower . Yes I drop the guy wires as it comes down. So far it works nice, and I can do it by my self.2 things to think about. The generator is real nice. It was Gudcraft and now the new Company in their town that sells them. I would never buy anything else from them. #2 the fact they have NO replacement parts. If the blades should break, you are SOL. I didn't order anything but the generator.

Ordered the Snow Joe over the Toro due to more power, cheaper price, and metal, rather than plastic, blades... Hope I don't end up regretting it, as the Toro has far more information about it out there than the Snow Joe.Edit: Well, perhaps all things happen for a reason. The Snow Joe was back-ordered... I found more reviews on the QVC site, and they also had a video of the snow joe. QVC had a lot of mixed reviews and the video wasn't as impressive as ones I've seen for the toro, so I canceled the Snow Joe and went with the safer bet.

You have to use the hubs that come with the kit. The bearings are bigger and the stub shaft itself is also larger so they're a lot stronger than stock, and the hubs are really strong too. The front and rear half shaft assemblys are also the exact same with the Tekno kits so you parts interchangeability which is nice. I've been running mine for about 4 months in Afghanistan with the castle SCT setup on 3S with 6in. tall tires and the Tekno 17mm hub conversion and have only broke one front half shaft because I was running a rear locker on the street. If you are still running the stock size tires even on 3S, I don't see you ever breaking any half shaft parts. These are tough. You have to use the hubs that come with the kit.

Toro 1800 is probably just slightly better than the SnowJoe, but Toro still is poorly designed for anything more than 3 inches of snow. The belts are notorious for breaking/slipping when the Toro is struggling. It seems like Toro will break the belts whenever the snow is more than 3 inches high.You can hear the rotor struggle in more than 3 inches of snow. The key is to shave snow slowly at a time from the top (while your back is aching from the 25 lb weight). My first belt broken after 3 uses. I ordered 2-3 extra belts from Ebay. I wish Toro used metal chains instead of rubber belts. Toro 1800 is probably just slightly better than the SnowJoe, but Toro still is poorly designed for anything more than 3 inches of snow.

If the governor linkage is different it may not be pulling the throttle plate off the idle screw. You can check the linkage and see if throttle moves off the idle screw as you move the throttle lever. If it doesn't then try to move the throttle (on the carburetor) by hand while the engine is running and see if it speeds up or not. You may have to fabricate a new linkage setup or find the correct carburetor for your setup.
