Why Cushman Lawn and Garden Equipment engine will not start?
- B
  Brandon GutierrezAug 9, 2025
  If your Cushman Lawn and Garden Equipment engine won't start, several factors could be at play. It could be due to the clutch pedal not being depressed—ensure you follow the correct start-up procedure. Alternatively, the battery might be low on charge or defective; inspect its condition and connections. A third possibility is an empty or dirty fuel tank, or a closed fuel shut-off valve; in this case, fill the tank with fresh fuel, change the fuel filter, bleed the fuel lines, and open the fuel shut-off valve. Lastly, a blown fuse could be the culprit, so check and replace the fuse if necessary.

  If your Cushman Lawn and Garden Equipment engine is overheating, start by inspecting and adding coolant if the level is low. Next, check for any restrictions in the air intake and clean it if necessary. Also, examine the water pump belt to see if it's broken or loose, and tighten or replace it as needed. Finally, consider whether the engine is overloaded and reduce your forward speed accordingly.

Why Cushman Lawn and Garden Equipment engine is hard to start?
- E
  Erin YoungAug 23, 2025
  If your Cushman Lawn and Garden Equipment engine is hard to start or runs poorly, the fuel level might be low, or the fuel or fuel filter could be dirty. Try filling the tank with fresh fuel, changing the fuel filter and bleeding the fuel lines. Another cause may be a dirty air cleaner; inspect and replace the air filter if needed. For issues related to the injectors or fuel pump, consult the engine manual. If the problem persists, it may be a general engine issue, and you should consult the engine manual.

  If your Cushman Lawn and Garden Equipment vehicle isn't responding to the throttle pedal, first check if the parking brake is engaged and disengage it. Next, ensure the transmission is not in Neutral by depressing the brake and clutch pedals. If the clutch pedal is depressed, shift to the proper gear for the desired ground speed, release the brake pedal, and slowly release the clutch while pressing the throttle pedal.
