  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.
