  Susan OrtegaAug 20, 2025
  Your Husqvarna Lawn Mower might not start due to several reasons. It could be out of fuel, so fill the fuel tank. The engine may not be choked properly, refer to the “TO START ENGINE” section in the Operation section. If the engine is flooded, wait a few minutes before trying again. Other potential causes include a bad spark plug (replace it), a dirty air filter (clean or replace it), a dirty fuel filter (replace it), water in the fuel (empty the tank, carburetor, refill with fresh gasoline, and replace the fuel filter), loose or damaged wiring (check all wiring), a carburetor out of adjustment (refer to the “To Adjust Carburetor” section in Service Adjustments), or engine valves out of adjustment (contact an authorized service center/department).
