Hi Dave,
A spring starter is something I thought of for a Toro 25.4. I thought of the original pull starter also especially since the price is right, but you might pull the engine off the firewall with it, because it takes a real pull with the rope starters small diameter. Is there a spring starter you know of that would fit the Toro? I read back in the thread and answered this question, so does anyone know who might make adaptable spring starters? (Maybe one of us can design one?)
