Why does my Columbia A4 engine fail to start?
- MmelaniejimenezAug 1, 2025
Your Columbia Lawn Mower engine might fail to start due to several reasons: the blade control may be disengaged (engage blade control); the spark plug boot may be disconnected (connect wire to spark boot); the fuel tank might be empty or contain stale fuel (fill tank with clean, fresh gasoline); the engine may not be primed (prime engine as instructed); the spark plug may be faulty (clean, adjust gap, or replace); the fuel line may be blocked (clean fuel line); the engine may be flooded (wait a few minutes to restart, but do not prime); the fuel valve may be closed (open fuel valve); the engine may not be choked (choke engine); or a burnt fuse (replace fuse, Electric Start Only).
