  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.
