Starting & running my Toro model 22040 mower. Bought this new in 2004. It has the Suzuki 5.5hp 2-cycle piston ported engine.
At WOT it turns about 3380 rpm's, and I've been using a 50-1 mix with Stihl oil since new. The ty-wrap on the handle prevents it from shutting down when you release the handle. Slide the ty-wrap over, and the machine shuts off. Squeeze the handle, and the self propelled transmission does it's thing. The 3-speed shifter is on the rear base of the mower- No fancy cable to shift on the handle on this model. A fuel shutoff has also been added below the fuel tank.
This is a heavy mower, and it hasn't had a whole lot of use. The rear trailing shield (grass flap) has been removed for easier manuevering.
For more info and some great pictures of a whole bunch of 2-cycle mowers like this, go to www.mytractorforum.com . Come show off your mowers!!
Are you willing to sell this unit?

3380 rpm? Should be 3300 rpm. Toro officially lists the blade tip speed of this and related mowers as being 18,050 FPM which would translate to 3283 RPM.
