Why won't my Ferris Lawn Mower engine turnover or start?
- M
  Megan BerryAug 21, 2025
  Your Ferris Lawn Mower might not start due to several reasons: * The parking brake might not be engaged, so engage it. * The PTO (electric clutch) switch may be in the ON position; place it in the OFF position. * The engine might be out of fuel; if the engine is hot, allow it to cool, then refill the fuel tank. * The engine could be flooded; move the choke control to the closed position. * A fuse might be blown; replace the fuse. * The battery terminals may need cleaning; clean them. * The battery could be discharged or dead; recharge or replace it. * Wiring might be loose or broken; visually check the wiring and replace any broken or frayed wires, and tighten any loose connections. * There may be water or old fuel in fuel; drain fuel and replace with fresh fuel.
