    • U
      uphillipsAug 28, 2025
      If your Honda Lawn Mower is hard to start or losing power, the issue might be due to a few reasons. Check for dirt in the petrol tank and clean it if necessary. A dirty air cleaner can also cause this problem, so clean or replace it. Additionally, water in the petrol tank and carburettor, or a clogged vent in the fuel cap and/or carburettor, could be the culprit. In these cases, drain the water or clear the vent.
