Why Dolmar PM-410 Lawn Mower engine does not start?
- M
  Melanie SanchezAug 18, 2025
  The Dolmar Lawn Mower engine might fail to start due to several reasons. The throttle chock may not be in the correct position; adjust it accordingly. The fuel tank could be empty; refill it. A dirty air cleaner element can also prevent starting, so clean it. Check if the spark plug is loose and tighten it to 25 - 30 Nm if necessary. Ensure the spark plug wire is properly connected. The spark plug gap might be incorrect; set it between 0.7 to 0.8 mm. The spark plug itself could be defective, or the carburetor might be flooded with fuel; in the latter case, remove the air cleaner element and pull the starter rope until the carburetor clears.

  Your Dolmar Lawn Mower engine might be overheating because the cooling airflow is restricted; remove any debris from the slots in the shroud, blower housing, and air passages. Another cause could be an incorrect spark plug. For PM-410, install an RJ19LM spark plug and cooling fins on the engine. For PM-461, install an RJ19LMC spark plug and cooling fins on the engine.
