- A
  Andrea HernandezJul 30, 2025
  If your Ariens Lawn Mower engine won't start, there are several possible causes: * The fuel tank may be empty or low. Check the fuel level and fill the tank if needed. * The fuel shutoff valve might be closed. Open the fuel shutoff valve. * The spark plug wire could be loose or off. Check the connection. * If you have an electric start model, the battery might be discharged. Charge or replace the battery if necessary. * The throttle control may not be in the proper position. Adjust the throttle to the FAST position. * The Engine/Blade control cable might be detached, broken, or not adjusted properly. Check the cable and adjust, repair, or replace it as needed.

  If your Ariens Lawn Mower isn't bagging clippings, it might be because the grass bag is overfilled. Empty the grass bag and avoid overfilling it. Alternatively, a mulching plug might be installed; remove it.

  If the cut is poor with your Ariens Lawn Mower, consider these potential reasons: 1. The blade might be worn. Check the blade. 2. You might be removing too much grass per cutting. Try raising the cutting height. 3. The grass may be too wet. Allow the grass to dry before mowing. 4. Your mowing speed could be too fast. Mow slower.
