    Default Toro Proline with Suzuki TV5002 2 cycle engine

    Hey guys, I am from the U.S. I am trying to locate some suzuki 2 cycle engines that used to come on the toro proline mower. They are no longer sold in the U.S. We are forced to start using 4 strokes that need oil changes every week. I have not had any luck finding online dealers through the Toro Australia website. If anyone has any info it would be greatly appreciated.

    Thanks
    Chad

    You can still use 2 stroke engines. The government in all of their wisdom believe that 2 cycle lawnmower engines are too dirty. Meanwhile 2 cycle trimmers, edgers, weed eaters, etc are still OK. The maintenance on 4 strokes produces much more waste oil than a 2 stroke ever will. I have heard that the tv5002 is still in use in Australia, and would like to try and get my hands on some.
