  If your Husqvarna Lawn Mower won't start, several factors could be the cause. Here's what you can check: * **Fuel:** Ensure the fuel tank is filled. * **Choke:** Make sure the engine is properly choked as described in the Operation section. * **Flooding:** If the engine is flooded, wait a few minutes before trying again. * **Spark Plug:** A bad spark plug can prevent starting, so replace it. * **Air Filter:** Check and clean or replace a dirty air filter. * **Fuel Filter:** Replace a dirty fuel filter. * **Water in Fuel:** If there's water in the fuel, empty the tank and carburetor, refill with fresh gasoline, and replace the fuel filter. * **Wiring:** Inspect all wiring for looseness or damage.

Why is my Husqvarna 917.287520 hard to start?

  Christopher MitchellAug 27, 2025
  A Husqvarna Lawn Mower that's hard to start might have a dirty air filter (clean or replace it) or a bad spark plug (replace it). Other possible causes include a weak or dead battery (recharge or replace it), a dirty fuel filter (replace it), or stale or dirty fuel (empty and refill with fresh, clean gasoline). Check for loose or damaged wiring. If the problem persists, the carburetor might be out of adjustment (see “To Adjust Carburetor” in the Service Adjustments section), or the engine valves may need adjustment, requiring you to contact an authorized service center/department.

  If your Husqvarna Lawn Mower engine won't turn over, make sure the brake pedal is depressed. Also, check that the attachment clutch is disengaged. Other possible causes include a weak or dead battery (recharge or replace it), a blown fuse (replace it), or corroded battery terminals (clean them). Inspect for loose or damaged wiring. If these steps don't resolve the issue, the ignition switch, solenoid, or starter may be faulty and need checking or replacement. In the case of faulty operator presence switch(es), contact an authorized service center/department.
