What to do if my Exmark Lawn Mower engine will not start?
- RRachel SnyderJul 30, 2025
If your Exmark Lawn Mower engine won't start, ensure the battery is fully charged (for electric start models). Also, verify that the choke is in the 'ON' position for a cold engine or in the 'OFF' position. Confirm the key switch is in the 'ON' position (15 & 17 HP Kawasaki manual start), the speed control lever is in the 'true neutral' position, and the PTO is disengaged with the PTO switch depressed. For electric start models, make sure the OPC levers are depressed. Check that there is fuel in the tank and the fuel valve is open. Inspect the spark plug wire(s) for proper connection. Look for loose or faulty wiring connections, and check for corrosion at all wiring connections, cleaning them with electrical contact cleaner and applying dielectric grease if necessary.
