What to do if Columbia Lawn Mower engine cranks but will not start?
- RRebecca FloresAug 2, 2025
If your Columbia Lawn Mower engine cranks but won't start, first ensure the throttle or choke is in the correct starting position (refer to the OPERATION section of this manual). Check if the gasoline tank is empty and fill it if needed. Also, inspect the fuel line and in-line fuel filter for blockages; clean the fuel line and replace the fuel filter if necessary. Make sure the spark plug lead is connected. If there's still no start, use a spark tester to check for spark. If no spark is present, have the engine’s magneto serviced by an authorized engine dealer. A dirty air cleaner may also be the cause; refer to the engine manual packed with your unit.
