Why my Husqvarna Lawn Mower will not start?
- J
  Joseph RodriguezAug 20, 2025
  If your Husqvarna Lawn Mower won't start, several factors could be the cause. It might be out of fuel, so start by filling the fuel tank. Ensure the engine is properly choked as described in the Operation section. If the engine is flooded, wait a few minutes before trying again. Other potential issues include a bad spark plug (replace it), a dirty air filter (clean or replace it), a dirty fuel filter (replace it), or water in the fuel (empty the tank and carburetor, refill with fresh gasoline, and replace the fuel filter). Also, check for loose or damaged wiring. If none of these steps work, the engine valves may be out of adjustment, requiring you to contact an authorized service center.

Remove any buildup of grass, leaves, or trash under the mower. A bent blade mandrel can also cause an uneven cut, so replace it.

  Kim MorenoAug 27, 2025
  If your Husqvarna Lawn Mower engine "backfires" when turning it “OFF,” it's likely because the engine throttle control wasn't set between half and full speed (fast) position before stopping the engine. To prevent this, move the throttle control between half and full speed (fast) position before stopping the engine.

  If the engine of your Husqvarna Lawn Mower won't turn over, make sure the brake pedal is depressed. Also, ensure the attachment clutch is disengaged. A weak or dead battery could be the culprit, so recharge or replace it. Check for a blown fuse and replace it if necessary. Clean any corrosion from the battery terminals. Inspect all wiring for looseness or damage. If these steps don't resolve the issue, the ignition switch, solenoid, or starter might be faulty and need to be checked or replaced. If the problem persists, there may be faulty operator presence switch(es), and you should contact an authorized service center.

  If your Husqvarna Lawn Mower is experiencing a loss of drive, make sure the freewheel control is in the “engaged” position. If equipped, check for debris on the steering plate. A worn, damaged, or broken motion drive belt can also cause a loss of drive, so replace it. Air trapped in the transmission during shipment or servicing may also be the reason; purge the transmission. Finally, check for a missing axle key and install it at the rear wheel if necessary.
