  Your Exmark Lawn Mower engine might be losing power due to several factors. The engine load could be excessive, the air cleaner might be dirty, the oil level in the crankcase could be low, the cooling fins and air passages for the engine might be plugged, the vent hole in the fuel cap could be plugged, or there could be dirt in the fuel filter. Try reducing the ground speed, cleaning or replacing the air cleaner element, adding oil to the crankcase, removing obstructions from the cooling fins and air passages, cleaning or replacing the fuel cap, or replacing the fuel filter.

Why won't my Exmark Lawn Mower engine start?
- A
  Andrew HartAug 25, 2025
  There are several reasons why your Exmark Lawn Mower engine might not start. It could be due to an empty fuel tank, a closed fuel shutoff valve, or incorrect throttle and choke positions. Other potential causes include a dirty fuel filter, dirt, water, or stale fuel in the fuel system, a dirty air cleaner, corroded or faulty electrical connections, a faulty spark plug, or a disconnected spark plug wire. If the MIL illuminates and blinks, contact an Authorized Service Dealer. You may need to fill the fuel tank, open the fuel shutoff valve, adjust the throttle and choke, replace the fuel filter, clean or replace the air cleaner element, check and clean the electrical connections, or clean, adjust, or replace the spark plug, and check the spark plug wire connection.
