    What to do if Ferris Lawn Mower engine stalls with mower deck engaged?
    • S
      Steven JonesSep 9, 2025
      If your Ferris Lawn Mower engine stalls easily with the mower deck engaged, ensure the engine speed is set to full throttle. Also, the ground speed might be too fast, so decrease it. If the cutting height is set too low, especially in tall grass, raise it. Cut tall grass at the maximum cutting height during the first pass, and then at the desired cutting height for the second pass. Finally, check if the discharge chute is jamming with cut grass; cut grass with the discharge pointing towards the previously cut area.

    What to do if Ferris 5901692 Lawn Mower engine starts hard?
    • J
      justinmartinezAug 22, 2025
      If your Ferris Lawn Mower engine starts hard or runs poorly, the fuel mixture might be too rich. Try cleaning the air filter. If you have a carbureted model, check the choke adjustment. For fuel-injected models, it's best to see an authorized service dealer. Another possible reason is a faulty, fouled, or incorrectly gapped spark plug. Clean and gap or replace it, consulting the engine manual for specifications.
