Toro model 22662 self-propelled mower. (Has the brake bar that must be pushed down to engage blade.)

1. Engine "gasps" at all but the very highest speed.

2. Self-propelled speed control not working. Only one speed. Will not go into neutral, either.

Many thanks in advance for your help.

The model number you have posted shows to be for a Toro Dingo utility tractor and not a lawn mower.

The engine problem most likely is a carburetor issue, and I suspect the shifter cable may need to be replaced to resolve the speed selection problem for your self propel.
