What to do if my Ferris 5901923 Lawn Mower engine starts hard or runs poorly?

  Ashley FrazierAug 13, 2025
  If your Ferris Lawn Mower engine starts hard or runs poorly, it could be due to a fuel mixture that is too rich. Try cleaning the air filter. If you have a carbureted model, check the choke adjustment. For fuel injected models, consult an authorized dealer. Another potential cause is faulty, fouled, or incorrectly gapped spark plugs. In that case, clean, gap, or replace the spark plugs, referring to the engine manual for guidance.

  If your Ferris Lawn Mower is consuming an excessive amount of oil, it could be due to several reasons. The engine might be running too hot, so clean the engine fins, blower screen, and air cleaner.
