Why Gardener's Choice GSC400 engine does not start?
- GGeorge SmithAug 2, 2025
If your Gardener's Choice Lawn Mower engine won't start, several factors could be at play. First, make sure the throttle lever is correctly set to ‘Cold Start’ if the engine is cold, or slightly lower if it's warm. Next, check the fuel level and fill the tank with unleaded petrol if it's low. Examine the spark plug; it may need cleaning or replacing. Ensure the spark plug is properly connected by firmly pressing on the terminal cover. If the engine is flooded, turn the fuel ‘off’ and zip until it starts, then turn it back ‘on’. Also, old petrol in the tank can be a culprit, so drain it and replace it with fresh unleaded fuel. If water is present in the fuel tank, contact an authorised Gardener’s Choice dealer.
