Why won't my Benchmark Lawn Mower engine start?
- Jjoseph45Aug 8, 2025
There are several reasons why your Benchmark Lawn Mower engine might not start. It could be due to the choke being open (move the lever to close it unless the engine is warm), the engine switch being off (turn it on), or the lawn mower being out of fuel (refuel). Other potential causes include bad fuel (drain the tank and carburetor and refuel with fresh gasoline), faulty, fouled, or improperly gapped spark plugs (gap or replace them), or spark plugs wet with fuel (dry and reinstall them, then start the engine with the control lever in the FAST position). In some cases, the fuel filter may be clogged, or there could be a carburetor malfunction, ignition malfunction, or stuck valve (replace or repair faulty components as necessary).
